This has been discussed... was it on the desktop list I saw it?  The
answer is that udev should really be blocking hotplug now, at least in the
newer versions (~arch is up to 104-r2, tho it looks like stable amd64 is
clear back on 87-r1), but isn't for some reason.  Try unmerging hotplug and
remerging udev, and see if that solves the issue.  It has for others.

The one thing that you might lose that way is autodetect and early setup
of your network, but most folks don't seem to have a problem with that, as
it's picked up later in the boot cycle anyway.  (The problems in fact seem
to generally be that hotplug is trying to setup networking too early, when
there is a problem, so again, getting it out of there fixes the problem.)

In any case, it's not as if hotplug is a long merge, if unmerging it
doesn't work for you, but the reports are all good that I've seen, and
certainly I've experienced no issues unmerging hotplug here, altho I'm
running ~amd64 so likely have newer versions of a lot of stuff than stable
amd64 users do.
