Already thought about that (and I've been bitten by the lack of udev in default
installs of earlier Debians):

test-1:~# dpkg -l | grep udev
ii  udev                   0.105-4                         /dev/ and hotplug management daemon
test-1:~# dpkg -l | grep hotplug
ii  udev                   0.105-4                         /dev/ and hotplug management daemon
test-1:~# mount
