Dear Maintainer, your package installs a udev rule, great. For the ongoing UsrMerge effort [1], we want to change "udevdir" in udev.pc. When this happens, your package will FTBFS. The upstream build system will install the udev rules into the new path, but the Debian packaging expects them in the old path. For your convenience I'm attaching a patch to fix this. Please apply at your earliest convenience. Per the wiki [1], it is useful to first upload to experimental and wait a few days for the dumat tool evaluating the change, and only then upload to unstable. I expect udev.pc will change soon, and then this bug will become release-critical. Thanks for considering, Chris [1] https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge PS: alsa-utils also seems to hardcode the install location of systemd units, i.e. they always get installed into /lib/systemd/system. These should also move to /usr; the patch does not change this for now. If you can use dh_installsystemd, I would recommend using that.
