Hi,

might be late, but I successfully installed udev in a Debian Sarge
domU. Before installing the udev package do:
# mkdir /dev/pts
# mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts

You may see some errors about a symbolic link that could not be
created, but don't worry, install udev and then umount and remove the
/dev/pts directory. This error is related to the post-inst script of
the package.

Regards,
Abel
