I've found that a few packages, contrary to my expectations, have Depends: on udev. I'm primarily concerned with alsa-base and initramfs-tools, but also wonder about libcomedi0, dkopp, python-expeyes, libnjb5, media-player-info, pulseaudio, ukopp, xserver-xorg-core, and midisport-firmware.
The backstory is that I'm about to install Debian (either stable or testing) on a tiny Architecture: i386 system, and consider excluding udev from the installation, as the hardware in question has virtually no support for any pluggable devices whatsoever. -- FSF associate member #7257 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
