I'm afraid I don't understand your point. You're basically saying that either [1] or [2] may happen, and that if [1] happens, then the dependency needs to be removed, if [2] happens, then the dependency needs to be removed, and until either of [1] or [2] happen, the dependency needs to be removed anyway. I.e. you're saying the dependency needs to be removed no matter if/when [1] or [2] happen. Additionally, there's [3] which is not something that can happen, but a decision that has been discarded. If you apply solution [3], then of course the situation is different, but you didn't say that you're taking [3] into consideration. I can't make any sense of it. But maybe I'm just obtuse today. Is there someone else who understands this reasoning? Sorry I read the bug report to fast, and thought the dependency was on lm-sensors and not libsensors4. I am going to fix that in the next upload.

Bug#666510: please make udev|makedev dependency Linux-only
Package: libsensors4
Version: 3.3.1-2
Tags: patch
User: debian-...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd
This package drags depends on udev|makedev for all kernels unnecessarily. It
should only depend on these packages for Linux-based platforms.
See attachment.
