Probably different libraries linking different versions of libudev.

I built libwaffle which is not packaged in Debian with libudev.so.0 and
when I linked piglit with it it would crash calling different libudev
symbols at random. Linking libwaffle with libudev.so.1 and rebuilding
piglit resolves the problem for my test but iceweasel and chromium
still crash in libudev.

Looking through dependencies only daemons and tools should depend on
libudev0 - no libraries but I might have missed something.

Thanks
