Last statement is the one I was pointing you to.
>From /usr/share/doc/udev/README.Debian.gz:
udevd also manages the hotplug events and if needed dispatches them to
other programs using RUN rules, as a replacement of the old /sbin/hotplug.
The hotplug package is not needed anymore and is disabled when udev is
installed, so it should be removed.

Easy, hotplug is not in its own package anymore, it is now included with
udev, or replaced with udev.

If you are using udev >= 0.079-080+1 (check with 'dpkg -l udev'), you should
purge hotplug. I see that the udev version in testing is 0.093-1 so yes, you
sholud.
This mailing list is probably a poor place to ask these questions, I
suggest you ask the maintainer himself, Marco D'Itri.
