udev 202-0ubuntu5pitti6 - I've tested on a system with cryptsetup and LVM.
However, my recollection is that the bug those patches were meant to fix
would not hit configurations like this one; because my root filesystem is on
the encrypted VG, udev would never be stopped while those events were still
being processed since they're dependencies of the root filesystem and udev
is only stopped after the rootfs is found.

So the udev isn't noticably broken in general for cryptsetup/lvm, but I
don't think I have a regression test for that particular bug.
