Description Kay Sievers 2010-10-23 13:47:58 UTC 
Since 11.3 the kernel modules export 'static device node' information to udev:
  $ cat /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
  # Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
  microcode cpu/microcode c10:184
  fuse fuse c10:229
  ppp_generic ppp c108:0
  tun net/tun c10:200
That means /dev/fuse always exists right after udevd is started, even when the module is not loaded. On access, the kernel loads it on-demand.

The fusectl fs is also mounted by udev since a while:

Please remove the init script from the package. Things like this should no longer be done with init scripts, if possible. Thanks a lot!
