FWIW I partially downgraded a squeeze machine to lenny's X, kernel and
gnome a while back (keeping squeeze udev), and the machine seemed to
boot and work fine.  Admittedly I only used it for about an hour or so
before upgrading again, but that makes me wonder if the check in udev
preinst is really necessary?
