No worries :) I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to look at this today (I've
been out of town all day). I'm going to try again tomorrow.

Would it be easier for you if I just went ahead and created an amd64 deb
for vdev? I would have to make it conflict with udev for now(*) since it
would need to prevent udev from running, but it seems like this is
acceptable for your current test machine.

Thanks,
Jude

(*) The tentative plan for the future would be to let you install any/all
device managers and pick the one that gets started at boot-time via the
alternatives system.
