I think that has already happened for quite some time. The latest udev
package outside systemd source in Debian is 175-7.2 according to
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/udev. In Debian jessie it is provided by
systemd package as shown on https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/systemd. I am
still on Debian wheezy with *systemd* pinned to Pin-Priority: -1. When I
tried to switched to jessie repository and do dist-upgrade, udev package
is not being pulled.

According to Jaret on
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20150506.032423.0a2c83ef.en.html,
udev source has been merged into systemd source since version 183.
