Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: udev

On Hardy, /dev/rtc has mode and ownership 660 root:audio. On Intrepid it
is a symlink to /dev/rtc0 which has 660 root:root.

Both systems have the same entry in 40-permissions.rules:
KERNEL=="rtc",                          GROUP="audio"

Adding a similar entry for rtc0 made the ownership equal to /dev/rtc on
Hardy.

This leads me to believe that either

1. /dev/rtc* should be owned by the group audio on Intrepid too, which would 
probably require a change in 40-permissions.rules, or 
2. that the new /dev/rtc* devices should be owned by the root group, and the 
entry should be removed. 

My instincts goes for the former as I can imagine it breaks things if
/dev/rtc isn't writable to Desktop users anymore.

The installed version of udev on my Intrepid install is 124-9
