Ok, again, good to know. I started using udevtrigger since
/usr/share/doc/udev/README.Debian.gz links to
http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php which states

   "To make the symbolic link show up, you can either disconnect and
    reconnect your camera, or alternatively in the case of
    non-removable devices, you can run udevtrigger."

How about the following fix?

 The nsswitch.conf syntax is documented in the glibc manual.

+Changing device permissions, owner or group
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Note that to change device permissions, owner or group you need to
+both edit the files under /etc/udev and also manually issue chmod or
+chown to the device in question. Do not run udevtrigger since it might
+have side effects like those described in bug #435624.
