Call for testing: udev 175 [precise]

Hello everyone,

I just packaged the new udev upstream version 175. It's running
happily here on my ThinkPad X201 (precise) as well as a Kubuntu 11.10
VM.

But it did get some structural changes, and I also reverted a patch
[1] that we knee-jerked into oneiric to fix boot failure on some
machines. I was never able to reproduce this unfortunately, and a
discussion with upstream also showed that it wasn't causing problems
otherwhere either. It might have aggravated the race condition in
LP#818177 or might have been fixed by other patches in the meantime,
so I took it out again for more testing.

In the new spirit of not breaking precise, I uploaded the new package
into my PPA [2] for now, so you can test it with:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pitti/ppa
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Please let me know if it works for you or cause any problem.

Thank you in advance,

Martin
