All ebuilds that will install anything into /usr/lib/udev/ use the udev.eclass or the udev pkg-config file directly, yes. There are still many that install things to /lib/udev/ only (these are mainly old ebuilds)... As to whether or not you want to undo the /lib/udev -> /usr/lib/udev migration, that'd be entirely up to you. I would ask though that if you are going to undo it, please don't stabilize a sys-fs/udev that uses /usr/lib/udev/ as having all the stable users switch and then switch back again is just going to be needlessly painful. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlDOmUIACgkQ2ugaI38ACPAHlAEAjOG5ez4mEaFiyRT2WypE+ahb 9uZtgSd+GYVdgrSMmx8A/1IsrS1Gn8Wb2wetDblzE+bW8adCWiusk/0hHtZxsyco =MAG4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
