Hello Hendrik,

I think that was the idea of Jaret to change all package names into
*eudev*, instead of keeping them the same as Gentoo does. But I could
never made it properly working as a lot of packages still depend on
mostly libudev. So I just followed Gentoo's approach in which we have to
choose either to install udev or eudev, even both use the same package
name. Perhaps if I would recompile all of the packages to make them
depend on libeudev, it should work. But due to my lack of knowledge and
experience on Debian packaging, I didn't dare to start.

Cheers,

Anto
