udevmonitor should be in /sbin

Bug Description

Binary package hint: udev

/etc/init.d/udev calls udevmonitor as follows:

        # Log things that udevtrigger does (won't work on seb's machine)
        if [ -x /usr/sbin/udevmonitor ]; then
                /usr/sbin/udevmonitor -e >/dev/.udev.log &
                UDEV_MONITOR_PID=$!
        fi

Now, at this point in time only the root fs is mounted. And this is the problem: on machines that run multiple filesystems (like all of mine), usually /usr is a different mount point... so this call will always fail, resulting in no udev actvity log available (which, BTW, is one thing I need now, while I am trying to find out why 2.6.22-6 does not boot on this machine).

I wonder if seb's issue is similar...

Yes, this won't work on any machine with /usr on a separate filesystem ("seb's machine").
