Hi Cyril,

I plan to split out udev-udeb and libudev1-udeb from the current
src:systemd source package/repo into a new src:systemd-udeb (forked
from the old one, so generated udebs will be the same).

This should greatly reduce your workload as src:systemd uploads will
no longer be in your way and require actions/reviews, and I do not
plan to update src:systemd-udeb more than once per major upstream
release in unstable, and never in stable-p-u. It will also allow me to
apply several improvements to src:systemd that are currently blocked
by the fact that udebs are built from it. The udeb source package will
be much smaller and leaner, with drastically cut build deps and so on.
So it should be a win/win all around.

Are there any particular precautions I should take? It will require a
trip through NEW, so for a time the udeb might disappear from unstable
until it is processed, but hopefully won't be too long. I think
there's somewhere a list of source packages building udebs, that will
need to be updated. Anything else?

Thanks!
