my understanding of udeb handling is also only rudimentary :-)
As I did not split the udeb libnl-genl-3 resides at the moment in libnl-3-200-
udeb. The dependencies all have a "-udeb" in its package name, but libnl-
genl-3-200 has not. So my guess would be, that a libnl-genl-3-200-udeb is also
necessary.

As libnl seems to be used by a lot of system-level programs, should only these
two libs move to /lib or all?
