Title:
  [udev] missing vendor/product names of devices (missing hwdb.bin)

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The hwdb bits of udev do not work at the moment. They expect the
  compiled hwdb database in /etc/udev/hwdb.bin:

  $ udevadm test-builtin hwdb /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0
  calling: test-builtin
  error reading /etc/udev/hwdb.bin: No such file or directory
  load module index
  unload module index

  $ udevadm hwdb
  --test=pci:v00008086d00003B4Asv000017AAsd00002164bc06sc04i00

  This leads to devices not having proper vendor/product strings (also
  see bug 1186777).

  TODO:
  - Move binary database out of /etc [upstream]
  - Call "udevadm hwdb --update" in udev postinst
  - Clean up hwdb.bin on purge
