Indeed.  My fault.

$ ls -l /
[...]
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     7 jan 22  2017 lib -> usr/lib
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     9 jan 22  2017 lib32 -> usr/lib32
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     9 jan 22  2017 lib64 -> usr/lib64
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    10 jan 22  2017 libx32 -> usr/libx32

Please, close this bug.

Sorry for this.

The good part of it: I read doc about "merged /usr":
https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge
https://salsa.debian.org/md/usrmerge/raw/master/debian/README.Debian
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseForTheUsrMerge/

And I got a question: regarding the fact Debain seems adopting "merged /usr" (it has been the default since debootstrap 1.0.85 in Oct 2016), why did you say your file should always have been in /lib/udev ?
