Thanks.

I seriously doubt that. udev is part of systemd now and it seems crazy
Debian would maintain old code like that. With a quick look at the the
patches Debian applies to udev there are six but none of them seem
relevant to firmware loading.
That brings up a question: Do Debian and Devuan (Debian fork without SystemD) use the same Kernels?
(And I may be able to answer my own question when I get home, as I run both).
