Thanks Ralph,

It took me months to build my own debian packaging files for eudev and
try the available ones on https://git.devuan.org/unsystemd/devuan-eudev
and https://git.devuan.org/pkgs-utopia-substitution/devuan-eudev (this
one has been deleted) *without success*, until Jaret uploaded his on
https://git.devuan.org/jaretcantu/eudev. Even if I got eudev package
successfully compiled, I had other issues like the issues with initramfs
hook.

So I don't want to repeat that for vdev and I think I will just wait for
a complete vdev source package with debian packaging files, to try to
compile and test it.

Cheers,

Anto
