in order to properly upgrade udev, and hal. you will need to wait until a 2.6.12 kernel becomes available in the sid branch. currently there is no 2.6.12 kernel present, which is why you're having problems upgrading. i usually check by "apt-get update" and searching for "apt-cache search ^kernel-image-2.6.12". when you see that a 2.6.12 kernel is available, you'd remove the pins from preferences in /etc/apt and install the new kernel image, then upgrade. i tried going around this problem by grabbing a vanilla 2.6.12 kernel from kernel.org. i planned on creating my own kernel package to bypass the wait for a 2.6.12 kernel to appear in sid's branch. but unforentantly my ATi drivers didn't care for the new kernel. you could try making your own package and see if it works. i never got that far due to my card.
