The current bug in testing/unstable won't apply. The more general
point about udev state could potentially apply if something was to
remove files from /dev/.udev (or mount something over /dev, or
umount /dev). I just mentioned the testing/unstable bug in case
there was a mistake about it being stable, since this has been
reported quite a few times over the last month.
