I tried to restart udevd when udevadm settle started to hang for 3 minutes with my PXE installs, and after killing and restarting udevd the problem went away. After the restart, 'udevadm settle' started to return in a fraction of a second again. Perhaps the udeb should be written to handle upgrades and restart udevd when it is? Not quite sure how to do that, as the postinst script is not executed for packages without a main-menu entry. Perhaps udev-udeb need a main-menu entry to get it working? Or perhaps some isinstallable script can be used instead? A workaround would be to rebuild the d-i images in Squeeze to use the new udev-udeb, but the problem will probably resurface every time a new version of udev enter testing.
