After several hours of hacking (including the Debian piuparts python script)
I've finally upgraded from Devuan Jessie to Devuan ascii with eudev 3.2.2-
devuan2.5 on an amd64 image. It worked :) No need for any udev dummy packages
depending on eudev. And no epoch!

Tools used: piuparts, reprepro, webfs, pbuilder
