The problem is: installing "eudev" in init.d because it provides

At least, with the way I did it, which I'm not saying is necessarily
the best.
I certainly know my way isn't the best: laziness~!
I looked into finding a way to make eudev provide the udev packages
elegantly and instead went with the stupid approach of "Everything eudev
now!" I mean, there is no such thing as libeudev, right?
Everything is still just named udev, after all, so I can justify my
sloth at least a little.
Hmm, looking at the "init" package, a "Pre-Depends: eudev |
systemd-udev" in a udev dummy package is probably the way to go. Or
maybe that only works for sysvinit since its conffiles are in a separate
package.
Here's some food for thought: https://wiki.debian.org/ConfigPackages
Too little sleep and too little coffee to worry about this right now.
Devuan didn't happen to defect any legit former Debian maintainers who
are a bit better with this sort of arcana, did it?
