I certainly know my way isn't the best: laziness~!

I looked into finding a way to make eudev provide the udev packages
elegantly and instead went with the stupid approach of "Everything eudev
now!" I mean, there is no such thing as libeudev, right?

Everything is still just named udev, after all, so I can justify my
sloth at least a little.


Hmm, looking at the "init" package, a "Pre-Depends: eudev |
systemd-udev" in a udev dummy package is probably the way to go. Or
maybe that only works for sysvinit since its conffiles are in a separate
package.

Here's some food for thought: https://wiki.debian.org/ConfigPackages


Too little sleep and too little coffee to worry about this right now.
Devuan didn't happen to defect any legit former Debian maintainers who
are a bit better with this sort of arcana, did it?
