When you're packaging this software for Debian, you're targetting it
at the versions of the packages in unstable.  This code is useless for
wheezy, since all systems will be using the udev version provided with
wheezy, which doesn't include /dev/.udev/db irrespective of whether or
not udev is using /run/udev or /dev/.udev as its directory.  It's long
gone, and so is useless to even attempt to use.

It might be fine to conditionally enable it /if /dev/.udev is present/,
but it should certainly not be using these paths now by default.  I
would recommend patching it out in Debian if you do choose to retain it
upstream.


Thanks,
Roger
