Thank you very much. That sounds nice. I'm curious whether this works nicely with debian-source-native packaging, like I'm using for mdev (everything including the packaging and source is in git master). I suppose I should also package libsysdev, since Jude was talking about using it for parts of libudev-compat. If you're wondering why I didn't respond sooner: lkcl and I were chasing down a bug, which turned out to be breakage with initramfs-tools from wheezy. I also didn't want the mdev package to be something that someone *could* install easily at that stage, since the only other person to try it got a boot failure; at a certain point, someone who isn't ready to build the package probably isn't ready to help test it. But now that lkcl has figured out how to fix the bug, I suppose it's ready for putting into an experimental repository.
