Idea: Rename package `udev` to `systemd-udev`, plus new `udev` metapackage, to "preserve freedom of choice of init systems".
Guys,
I'm thinking here about the future of `udev` and alt-init systems
(systemd-sysv | sysvinit-core | upstart)...
Apparently, `udev` will stop working without systemd = PID1 (am I
right?), so, to keep Debian working with `sysvinit-core` and others
(probably, I think), we'll need a new `udev`. Like `eudev` or
`mdev`...
So, why not make `udev` a metapackage (similar to `init`), that will
"Pre-Depends" on: "systemd-udev | eudev | mdev".
While at the same time, we should rename current `udev` to `systemd-udev`.
Also, `eudev` will need to be packaged, of course...
Thoughts?!
Best!
Thiago
