Dear Maintainer,

your package installs files related to udev, into /lib. These
files need to be moved to /usr/lib as part of Debian's usr-merge
effort [1].

Attached you will find a patch to delegate the exact placement of
the udev files to udev.pc (using pkg-config). This should work today
in unstable and, if necessary, for bookworm. Once udev.pc in
unstable points to /usr/lib your package will benefit automatically
after a binNMU or any other upload.

Later during the trixie cycle I expect this bug class to raise in
priority.

If during the trixie cycle your package will undergo structural
changes or any other file moves, please see the wiki and upload
to experimental first when these changes are done.

Thank you for considering,
Chris
