Ok, so udevadm should stay in udev-utils. In that case i propose we:

a) Add ${bindir}/udevadm and ${base_sbindir}/udevadm to
FILES_udev-utils. This should
ensure that udevadm will always go in udev-utils regardless of the
udev version being built.
This should also ensure that udev-utils package will always be made.

b) Make udevadm available in both ${bindir} and ${base_sbindir} via
symlinks installed in
do_install_append. This should ensure proper support for all versions of udev.
