For the present, I think what you've done is fine. The real fault here is that the init script for udev is buggy, but this wan't triggered until the base-files update introduced /run. The solution is for udev to fix that bug, and then when initscripts is updated to set up /run correctly, udev can then add a versioned dependency on initscripts and start using /run. Hopefully this will be fixed quickly. It's just a matter of the udev maintainer uploading a fixed package which doesn't use /run, and then the initscripts maintainer uploading a package which sets up /run. Once that's done, we can all start using /run (with a versioned initscripts dependency, to allow squeeze→wheezy upgrades to work). Regards, Roger -- .''`.
