(That should be Breaks, nowadays.) I'm not sure how effective that will be. After all, the bug only affects users of systemd, by the looks of that other bug, and popcon only shows systemd being used by at most 0.2% of the users of grub2, and even then it's only the subset without initrds who are affected. The rest have no need to upgrade. Plus, it's not clear to me from that other bug report whether you need to reboot with the new udev or otherwise manually restart udev before the fix is effective, and if so then a Conflicts/Breaks would be insufficient anyway; and, by the time grub2 packages with such a change reach testing, a fixed udev might well already be there. Still, I suppose I can give it a go (at least on non-Ubuntu-derived systems; Ubuntu's udev doesn't share history with Debian's). At the very least, it might serve as some kind of documentation.
