This raises a whole slew of issues in my mind; among them:

 - How would the user know if they should install udev-persistant or
   not? Is there a one-sentence answer? [1] Should it be part of the
   default install?

 - Isn't having installing packages changes behavior something
   we want to avoid? Or does udev-persistant just add *more* device
   names.

 - Could the udev-persistant stuff be made efficient as well? What
   additions to udev would be needed for that?

[1] The package description is:

    udev-persistent enables persistent device naming with udev

  That's not the answer I'm looking for :-)
