Right.  Still seem like a bad idea to me. :)

Well, on systems without udev (which is allowed on Linux at least at
the moment), missing udev do not mean /dev/ is not ready.  The udev
dependency is just supposed to be understood as 'udev is operational',
and nothing more. :)

Right.  The start header lines should probably look more like this
instead of the current content:

# Required-Start:    mountkernfs
# Should-Start:      keymap udev

Then it would work without udev too. :) If you report the bug, please
usertag it to show up on

Happy hacking,
