Yes, this will require a lockstep upgrade like it happened for lenny.
If you upgrade both the kernel and udev at the same time the udev
package will detect it and bypass the version check.

it was my use case, unfortunately udev package upgrade failed and
apt-get dist-upgrade stopped.
Is it a bug ? do you want apt-get output (easily reproducible) ?

This is the cause, the new linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-* packages do not
match the regexp.
Kernel people, should I change it?

ver=$(echo $pkg | sed -nr "s/^.*linux-image-(2.6.[0-9]+)-[0-9]+-.*_.*_.*.deb$/1/p")

Please do. We won't use 'trunk' in an actual release but it will be
helpful to people using testing.
