Yes, sorry, I got confused about which tree I had booting; this was
indeed a post-2.6.14 kernel (pulled using hg).

Documentation/changes at the tip as of tonight still says use "udev
version 071", which is what I have installed. I note that the latest
version on kernel.org is udev 072 --- is that what is going to be
required for 2.6.15? If so, better warn folks at distro's like Debian
unstable. If not, what do I need to change so I can easily test post
2.6.14 kernels --- and where was it documented that I needed a newer
version of udev?
