I'm running edgy too on the present laptop.
I've not deeply gone through, but it seems the backward hotplug
compatibility (upon which I've based the official .deb) has gone.
So, a good test would be to:
- backup /etc/udev/rules.d/025_nut-usbups.rules
- overwrite the above with the attached version
- reboot, check the /dev/... file and report back.
