I don't think *removing* /run is the right thing to do.  If the mere
presence of run causes udev to misbehave, then that's a udev bug that needs
to be fixed separately; someone needs to figure out what's really going on
here, as nothing in the sysvinit merge is likely to help...

Bug description:
  I've been running oneiric in a kvm guest for a while and updated it an
  hour or so ago; the keyboard and mouse are not working in lightdm at
  all - but if I log in remotely and chvt 1 the keyboard works in the
  console.

  The VM is a kvm guest running on a natty host; it was working fine
  prior to an apt-get upgrade in the guest.

  From duplicates, it affects upgrades to Oneiric on real hardware.

  WORKAROUND:
  unplug/re-plug keyboard and mouse.
  OR
  run the following command:
   $ mv /run/udev /run/udev.old
