File hwdb.bin is always being reported to be missing
The file hwdb.bin was being reported to be missing on dmesg output. The suggestion is to run "udevadm hwdb --update". But after reboot, dmesg keeps showing the same message.

Not my problem, and not even a problem just three releases upstream. If Debian backports the fix (or any relevant udev fix) into Jessie, I'll merge, but otherwise, I'll choose not to diverge.
