The udev version in wheezy ships udevadm as /sbin/udevadm indeed. So if you plan backports to oldoldstable, you'd need to take that into acount.

What you want to support from an upstream POV is of course your decision. I can't really tell what other distros do tbh. I would be suprised though, if faster moving distros, like Arch, which are close to upstream, actually provide a /sbin/udevadm compat symlink According to https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/systemd/ this is not the case. So your package is already broken there. Regards, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
