Fix SCM failover bugs:
1. multipathd expects uevents from kernel about /sys/block/sda. But
we are only getting them about /sys/devices/pci000:00/.../block/sda.
So we never add or remove devices that we should add based on
uevents.
2. Since we never see (or rather, never understand) the ACTION=remove
event for /dev/block/sda, but we have the device pinned, we never
end up unpinning it. So the kernel doesn't re-use sda when the
path shows back up. So we end up using funky-using paths like sdaa.
This looked for all the world like a kernel refcount problem, but
was actually a userspace bug. (We should have known based on the
fact that rollover stopped after multipathd crashed :)
Note that /sys/block/sda is always a symlink to the longer pathname.
This patch fixes this bug by accepting the uevents on the full block
/sys/ pathname. (LP: #660597)
This fix (slightly differently) is in the upstream code since 2008 and
in debian sid package.

* debian/kpartx.udev: Let dmsetup run kpartx, since $kernel doesn't map
  right.
* debian/initramfs/hooks: Include /lib/udev/kpartx_id.

* Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
  - control:
   + Bump debhelper dependency to install udev rules to
    /lib/udev/rules.d, bump udev dependencies as well.
   + multipath-udeb must not depend on multipath-modules,
    because the Ubuntu kernel already includes the modules and no
    package provides m-m.
  - initramfs/hooks: Install rules from /lib/udev/rules.d.
  - kpartx.udev, multipath-tools-boot.init:
    Replace multipath-tools-boot init script with udev rules.
  - multipath-tools.preinst: Fix preinst script to modprobe dm-multipath.
    This will make sure that multipathd will be able to start.
  - multipath-tools.prerm: Add prerm script to not fail when upgrading
    from a broken version of multipathd.
  - patches/1000--set-umask-in-multipathd.patch: Set umask in multipathd.
  - rules: Move udev rules to priority 95, because rules that load
    modules should be >90.
* Fix bugs (LP: #316851, #320156)
* multipath-tools.prerm/preinst: Remove checks for old ubuntu
  versions, we don't support upgrading from them anymore.

debian/multipath-tools.preinst: Use the same logic as in
hw-detect to determine if dm_multipath is already loaded.
