Package: udev
Version: 220-7
Severity: minor

The changelog claims:
> systemd (220-7) unstable; urgency=medium
> 
>   [...]
>   [ Martin Pitt ]
>   * Switch to net.ifnames persistant network interfaces (on new
>     installations/for new hardware), and deprecate the old
>     75-persistent-net-generator.rules. See the ML discussion for details:
[...]
>     - Add udev NEWS file for announcing this change and pointing to udev's
>       README.
>     [...]

That NEWS file sounds like a good idea, so it's a pity there's no sign
of it:

 jbr at xan:~$ ls /usr/share/doc/udev
 changelog.Debian.gz  copyright  README.Debian.gz

(And if you actually mean a NEWS file then this is an opportunity to
persuade you that it ought to be a NEWS.Debian file instead - that way 
apt-listchanges would have shown it to me automatically.)

Severity: minor because it's only a documentation issue that I'm
hoping you can fix in seconds.
