You were just suggesting that it would be ok to "leave it like this until you can get
it to work and then switch to a normal file hierarchy when ready".

I'm just stating that I disagree with your premise that creating a package that breaks policy is acceptable "until you can get it to work".

If vdev doesn't work already then it's to early to be packaging it. However indications are that it does work and thus it should be properly packaged.

As for testing it should minimally be able to be used successfully debootstrap a new system and also to replace udev on a running system without seriously breaking anything.

Once it does that we should put it in experimental for wider testing.
