OK, dpkg -L eudev gives a long list of files mainly in /lib/udev/, I'll
be leaving those alone then...

Once bitten twice shy, after the 1st breakage I copied everything from
/etc and /lib and /usr that I thought I might need into ~/SAFE/ .
Happily I didn't need it.

Thanks for the help, in the next week or so I will be installing X11 and
polluting the iMac with libsystemd0.
