Hmm, are you sure this is only for the volume keys, not all keys like bug #769103?

Nope, no other keys are repeating, nor other fn+x keys work (except for sleep, it works properly) :) (no control for wireless, brightness, LVDS/VGA switcher, 3G (no installed adapter, though), bluetooth or Camera App Launch are working), but no, no other keys are repeating. Nooooo prrrrrobleeemms likeeeeee tthisss.

This bug was fixed in the package udev - 175-0ubuntu1

---------------
udev (175-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

[ Loïc Minier ]
* Update Vcs fields for precise.

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * debian/udev.initramfs-hook: we aren't using pkill anymore, so don't put
    it in the initramfs.

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Unapply patches, they are not meant to be applied in the bzr branch.
  * New upstream releases 174 and 175:
    - Daemon moved to /lib/udev/udevd
    - path_id, usb_id, input_id tools are built-in commands now
    - fusectl filesystem is no longer mounted directly from udev
    - The long deprecated keys: SYSFS=, ID=, BUS= have been removed
    - The udev control socket is now created in /run/udev/control
    - The rules to create persistent network interface and cdrom link
      rules automatically in /etc/udev/rules.d/ have been disabled by
      default.
    - Support for 'udevadm trigger --type=failed, and the
      RUN{fail_event_on_error} attribute was removed.
    - Various keymap fixes (LP: #606599, #637695, #696671, #763525, #770680,
      LP: #795694)
    - Unbreak findkeyboards (LP: #881158)
    - Lots of bug fixes.
  * debian/rules: Explicitly enable persistent net/cdrom rule generator by
    default. Upstream default changed, but this seems too much a change for
    12.04 LTS.
  * Drop move-input_id-to-default-rules.patch, race-condition-on-exit: Applied
    upstream.
  * jack-detection.patch: Port to new upstream version.
  * load-fbcon.patch, use_run_tmpfs: Unfuzz.
  * debian/udev.install, debian/udev-udeb.install, debian/udev.initramfs-hook,
    debian/udev.initramfs-top, debian/udev.installer-startup,
    debian/udev.udev-finish.init, debian/udev.upstart: Update to changed
    location of udevd (/sbin → /lib/udev) and the three now builtin _id
    helpers.
  * debian/libudev0.symbols: Add new symbol from this release.
