I think I (or someone -- it is on git, after all) just needs to identify
where those tests which require python are being run/checked. The tests
should only be relevant for systemd, not (e)udev in particular, so
python3 should not be a real dependency -- just an oversight on my part.

Oh my, are you using Wheezy? This is supposed to be for Jessie -- I
have no clue what would happen if you tried installing this on an older
version.

eudev didn't even exist at udev version 175, so there should be no
equivalent version to drop in. I would recommend just using what Wheezy
already provides.
If you upgrade to Jessie/Devuan, then this eudev is a good idea. I
haven't even looked into Stretch? yet.
