Well so far I'd been quietly hopeful that the corner case we hit here might
get fixed at the source in a general way rather than having to kludge around
it in this package -- but I can also be pragmatic about a looming release
deadline too ;)

Just to recap what we discussed, because there doesn't seem to be a record
of that filed here:  There is a corner case in dh_installudev which we hit
here because changes to xorg meant we had to change the priority that the
script was installed with, and that happened at the same time as udev moved
the locations of the scripts to a different part of the filesystem.

The simple user workaround is to just delete the stale script.

I do have a handful of "last touchup for squeeze" things that I do still
need to do another upload for, so if someone can provide a tested patch
for this one, and the cure is not worse than the disease, then I think
it would be worth including with that.  I would still prefer to have a
more generic solution to the corner case itself though if someone does
have time to explore this in detail.

Cheers,
Ron
