Nonono, the stock Debian one has all that in a single definition. I
(currently) treat it like a oneshot that leaves a program around, tell
that extra program to terminate, and then supervise a udev process. In
the future I'm going to supervise udev and then fire off a oneshot
that does all the device node work. At this point, all I'm doing is
lamenting the fact that my preferred ordering isn't possible without
duplicating work already done in the init script shipped with udev
because the package maintainers packed too much functionality into
/etc/init.d/udev. I'm also lamenting the fact that people appear to
not understand what I'm writing and instead seem to think that I've
got my head up my ass.
Cheers!
