A thought that just occured to me: since all packages I know of have
been fixed (in sid and testing) to no longer use the symbols that were
dropped from libudev1, we could add a libudev0 transitional package
depending on libudev1 and shipping a symlink libudev.so.0 → libudev.so.1.
Then packages would gradually move over to libudev1 when they are
rebuilt and we drop the transitional package once all rdeps of libudev0
are gone.

Is that a crazy/stupid idea?

Michael
