Are we still talking about /etc/init.d/zaptel? I don't see a loop. And no
mention of 'ctl' either (1:1.4.11~dfsg-3).

'udevsettle' vs. 'udevadm settle':
The NEWS-entry for udev version 126 mentions:
No symlinks to udevadm are installed anymore, if they are still needed,
they should be provided by the package.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=blob;f=NEWS

So. 'udevadm settle' should be the future-proof way if you or upstream
decide to go that way.

Yes. There's definately no hurry there. I just saw it by accident that the
function name was misspelled when I included the 'udevsettle' in the
script after the upgrade to -3. Didn't even know there was a 'status'
function before that :-)
