Removing 'diversion of /sbin/udevadm to /sbin/udevadm.upgrade by udev'
The above shows that the diversion is indeed probably registered but that for
some reason it still returns the old path instead of "useinstead".
The condition that's producing this result is:
r=
(namenode->divert->useinstead && namenode->divert->pkgset != pkg->set)
? namenode->divert->useinstead : namenode;
I tried adding the following to the namenodetouse() function in help.c:
printf("divert_useinstead=%s, divert_pkgset=%s, pkgset=%s, namenode=%s,
using=%s\n",namenode->divert->useinstead,namenode->divert->pkgset,pkg->set,namenode,r);
That would have given me more details on exactly what's going on but
dpkg doesn't seem to build today because of another unrelated issue:

build/+buildjob/2427483
>From the debug output we get, the "useinstead" is set properly, so the
issue is with the pkgset part of that check.
