Well, the removal of
 udev_get_{dev,sys,run}_path()
could probably be reverted, but support for
 udev_monitor_from_socket()
 udev_queue_get_failed_list_entry()
is more tricky, and I don't see a good reason to divert from upstream
and every other distros for this. I've filed relevant bug reports a
while ago and the rdeps should be ready, so we should only need a couple
of binNMUs.
Anyway, will file a separate transition bug for libudev.

Ah, thanks. Shouldn't be an issue though, as libusb-1.0-0 currently
depends on libudev0, so would be binNMUed as part of the libudev transition.

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I gather from your reply, that
debian-installer should be fine otherwise and isn't affected by that rename?
