But doesn't work: Don't do this, the preinst script exists for a reason. If you really, really want to override the kernel features check the method is described above, though you should probably upgrade your kernel instead. BTW, what kernel are you running? As far as I understood the Wheezy kernel should be fine with Jessie udev (but I could be wrong).
