I think he's saying that udevadm is needed by HAL for correct operation,
even if you're using mdev instead of udev itself.

It looks like udev used to Depend on udev-utils due to the existence
of /sbin/udevsettle in version 124.  But, in version 141, that symlink
has gone away and hence the dependency is no longer created.  The right
fix is probably to add an explicit RDEPENDS_${PN} += "udev-utils" or
some such.
