Most of the package lists in Appendix C (Dependencies) are arranged
alphabetically and have the last item prepended with an "and".
A few of them don't and/or seem to misplace Eudev within the
alphabetical lists.
Leaving aside the question of whether the penultimate item in
a list should have a comma before the "and", and the fact that
some lists are terminated with a full stop and some just run
into the </seg>, here's a patch that hopefully addresses the
"and" and alphabetical ordering issues.
It also removes Diffutils from being a Test suite dependency of
itself - as that just seems odd?
We do use the "Oxford comma".

The lists should be
a
a and b
a, b, and c
In a list like this we should not be using periods at the end of the lists.
In your patch, you do have some instances of
a, and b
Please fix that and resubmit the patch. Thanks.
