  dpkg-reconfigure udev deletes udevadm

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: udev

  Somehow in a tangled intrepid->jaunty upgrade, /sbin/udevadm went
  missing. This caused keyboard and mouse to be dead at GDM login window
  (initial input layer probe fail?) and lots of other things to be
  borked (barely any modules loaded, /dev/null permission errors from
  the shell).

  Fix was to dpkg --install /var/cache/apt/archives/udev*.

  But how in the world did this happen?

  The only seriously unusual thing I did in the upgrade was run sudo
  dpkg-reconfigure -a afterwards. (I did that because I noticed that
  flashplayer, among other things, had some failures in config during
  the install. Reconfigure fixed that.)
