Thank you for your review. I committed corrections to above issues
that were inherited from "cgminer" packaging.

Very well, I hope re-licensing will be successful. Thanks for taking
care of that.

This is exactly what "libudev-dev [!kfreebsd-any]" do: it pulls
"libudev-dev" on all architectures but kFreeBSD (where it is not
available) so package won't FTBFS due to missing Build-Dependency and
will build successfully on kFreeBSD without "libudev-dev" that is not
strictly required.

I have no idea, sorry. This is beyond my level of competence so I have
no opinion on this.
