Bug#601751: pulseaudio needlessly depends on udev

[Michael Tokarev]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.21-3
Severity: normal

Pulseaudio in Debian now depends on udev for device discovery.
But this is just configuration, because by default it is configured
to use module-udev-detect.  However, it works just fine using other
detection modules or with static config - like, for example, module-detect
or just module-alsa-sink - udev support is definitely not needed for
these.

Please move udev dependency to Recommends at least, and change versioned
Depends to versioned Conflicts.  This is a no-op for default squeeze which
installs Recommended packages by default, but it lets users to remove udev
which is not mandated by far more "involved" packages like mdadm.

Thanks!
