Why can't this be fixed in a jessie point release?
So at least upgrades from up-to-date jessie would have a deconfigurable
udev.

In ifupdown, adding a
  Conflicts: udev (<< 228-3)
could convince dpkg to deconfigure the other package (i.e. ifupdown)
involved in this Breaks loop ... (but I haven't tested this).
