Ok, so things go wrong in this first stage here. I'll have a look in
rebuilding the initrd.

We need a vdev package that depends on an empty systemd-udev package.
All the other packages that depend on systemd-udev will otherwise be
uninstalled.

I just saw the vdev packages have disappeared on Aitor's site, I think
he's busy creating new ones :)

I propose not to git anymore, but to use Aitor's packages and test
these. I think there is still a lot of testing and debugging to do. And
we need more testers!
