Package: udev
Version: 146-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


This is in all versions of 146 udev debian packages. 

The initramfs hook file extra/initramfs.hook included in debian udev packages 
needs fixing.

0.141 versions contains at the bottom:

for program in /lib/udev/*_id; do
  copy_exec $program /lib/udev
done

146 version contains:

for program in ata_id edd_id path_id scsi_id usb_id; do
  copy_exec /lib/udev/$program /lib/udev
done

This list needs to at least include vol_id (or revert to the 0.141 version of 
this hook) as this obtains "uuid" entries for present disks in which udev then 
creates /dev/disk/by-uuid links.  

I raise this as critial as grub version two defaults to using UUIDs as root 
disks so without vol_id included no uuid entries can be found so any grub2 
installed system will completely unbootable.

I feel uuids make more sense and my fstab uses /dev/disk/by-uuid so that my 
hard-drive no matter the system I boot my hard-drive from and no matter if i 
use the drive as a PATA or SATA or even as a USB device which is especially 
useful especially for boot anywhere debian installs.


Thanks
