Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: udev
It appears that when querying the environment of a disk/partition device
node in Intrepid, the DEVTYPE variable doesn't appear to be set, unlike
hardy, where the DEVTYPE variable is set depending on whether the device
node represents a partition, or a disk. Further examination shows that
the DEVTYPE variable for disk/partition should be set in
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules. The same rule is in both
hardy and intrepid, and both appear to have the same contents.
Here is the output firstly from a hardy system, for a disk node,
followed by the output for a disk node on an intrepid install, different
machine.

The DEVTYPE variable doesn't get set on several intrepid installs I
have, 2 being on physical hardware, one being a virtual machine.
