This database is generated on-the-fly and located in /dev afaik! As we
do not stop and restart udev on upgrade, this conversion is not needed -
the db will be regenerated on reboot anyway.

Correct me if I am wrong, but afaik udev has no database anywhere in
/var (or anywhere else outside of /dev).
