+I don't think it's needed. See the bug mentioned earlier. I've patched
+drakx-kbd-mouse-x11 and I think we should just push udev and that
+together straight to core. I've also got udev pkg here, but the changes
+are simply anyway (just drop one upstream patch and some minor changes
+to the files list).
