Package: pulseaudio Version: 0.9.21-3 Severity: normal Pulseaudio in Debian now depends on udev for device discovery. But this is just configuration, because by default it is configured to use module-udev-detect. However, it works just fine using other detection modules or with static config - like, for example, module-detect or just module-alsa-sink - udev support is definitely not needed for these.
Please move udev dependency to Recommends at least, and change versioned Depends to versioned Conflicts. This is a no-op for default squeeze which installs Recommended packages by default, but it lets users to remove udev which is not mandated by far more "involved" packages like mdadm.
