The question was about Debian and the default Debian kernels have devtmpfs enabled since squeeze and it is used by default since then. In older versions of udev (including the one which is shipped with wheezy) you could still run udev withouth devtmpfs, though. > With udev being merged into systemd and their devs working on dropping > support for non-systemd machines this may change, however, and devtmpfs > may be used as one half of a new device management system for > non-systemd machines. Afaik, in recent version of udev, devtmpfs has become mandatory. This happened around v180+ something.
