Then do what all sane code does when the scripts it uses fails or cannot
be found - throw an error and continue.
Direct the distros to design their systems such that code for essential
functionality is guaranteed to always be available, / is a fine way to
do this.
Everything else and especially functions that the system can tolerate
not having, goes wherever the distro feels like having it.
The distro (or user) can then decide what to do and decide what is and
isn't essential, without having to rig things so that the system's
entire codebase is always on-line. It certainly isn't the udev
maintainer's fault if the distro puts code required to use SATA in a
place that cannot be found. That's a distro bug.
