Just re-read his mails, especially
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=918764#122.

His "Actually I'm wrong on this" mail
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=918764#127) was
(and actually still is) confusing me.

But some of the details from his first mail which were not cited in
his "Actually I'm wrong on this" mail (mainly "This was introduced in
commit e803efca") tell me that this _is_ actually a bug in the udev
package.

Hence back to RC severity — several users are affected and reverting a
commit in the udev package is said to fix the issue.

Michael: Any progress on being able to reproduce the issue?
