[ale] /dev/ttyUSB0 question

I realized last night that all there is to using udevfs is installing
udev and hotplug. So, all I did was `apt-get install udev` (already had
hotplug installed) and rebooted, so that the devfs would be set up
cleanly. Voila! My system now has a much cleaner /dev directory.
