Dear Maintainer,

your package installs files related to udev, into /lib/udev. 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.

Note: the udev rule installed by dh_installudev will move when
dh_installudev is updated.

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

Per the wiki, it is advisable to upload to experimental first, and
wait a few days for the dumat tool to check your package. The same
is advisable when any structural changes are done in the trixie
cycle.

Thank you for considering,
Chris
