Bug Description
Binary package hint: upstart
udev depends on upstart-job
upstart[provides upstart-job] predepends on mountall
mountall depends on udev
The problem is that:
mountall won't configure until udev configures
udev won't configure until upstart is installed
upstart won't unpack until mountall is configured
and around we go.
This is starting from hardy, so it won't show up with less ancient machines, I suspect.

Upstart doesn't need to use Pre-Depends, demoting back to Depends turns this into an ordinary Depends loop, which is ok
