IMHO this is not a good example as there is really no reason to install udev on such a box at all. Remember: KISS. Having a static /dev and /etc/modules filled in (or even better, a monolithic kernel) is far more reliable to administer.
On a desktop machine when you are plugging in various USB/Firewire/etc. devices all the time udev works great. On a remote server there is no real need for udev.
