Okay, I'm not actually that lazy. I downloaded the ubuntu Zesty
package and extracted the assembly. Running it through monodis yields
this:

nicholas@shambles ~/Source/Csharp/banshee $ monodis ~/gudev-sharp.dll
.assembly extern mscorlib
{
  .ver 4:0:0:0
  .publickeytoken = (B7 7A 5C 56 19 34 E0 89 ) // .z\V.4..
}
.assembly 'gudev-sharp'
{
  .custom instance void class
[mscorlib]System.Runtime.CompilerServices.RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute::'.ctor'()
=  (

        63 65 70 74 69 6F 6E 54 68 72 6F 77 73 01       ) // ceptionThrows.

  .permissionset reqmin =
{[mscorlib]System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermissionAttribute =
{property bool 'SkipVerification' = bool(true)}}
  .hash algorithm 0x00008004

.module 'gudev-sharp.dll' // GUID = {E24337B7-CEDC-49F1-8A7A-ADDC588DB298}

My system's installed gudev-sharp yields a far longer output so it
sounds like gudev-sharp really hasn't compiled correctly in Ubuntu's
package and it doesn't appear to have any types in it...

I'd definitely suggest you compile your own, FYI size is a simpler
comparison, e.g:

nicholas@shambles ~/Source/Csharp/banshee $ ls -1sh ~/gudev-sharp.dll
/usr/lib/mono/gac/gudev-sharp/3.0.0.0__3565e728cafab25e/gudev-sharp.dll
4.0K /home/nicholas/gudev-sharp.dll
 16K /usr/lib/mono/gac/gudev-sharp/3.0.0.0__3565e728cafab25e/gudev-sharp.dll

It's worth filing a bug with Ubuntu for this one tbh.
