Uninstalling udev leaves the system with a static /dev directory that is
missing sound devices.  This problem can't be fixed in alsa-base
maintainer scripts because alsa-base maintainer scripts don't get run
when udev is uninstalled.  The only maintainer scripts that could
address the problem are the udev prerm and postrm.

Another solution would be for the alsa initscript to create sound
devices on "start".  However, initscripts loading/unloading modules and
creating/deleting devices is something we want to get away from.

One option is to say that uninstalling udev isn't supported.  In that
case udev should print a message on deinstallation warning the admin in
big letters that she may have to fix the dev directory afterwards by
hand.
