Please clarification: UDEV -OR- EUDEV -OR- BOTH on devuan

Hello!

I am wondering on a new installation, that I found UDEV in addition to EUDEV on daedalus today.
Can someone shed probably some light onto this?

apt list --installed | igrep "(e|u)dev"

eudev/stable,now 3.2.12-4+deb12u1 amd64 [installed]
libeudev1/stable,now 3.2.12-4+deb12u1 amd64 [installed]
libgudev-1.0-0/stable,now 237-2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
udev/stable,now 1:3.2.9+devuan4 amd64 [installed]

I probably misunderstood someone sometime ;-)
so that I always remove UDEV.

Thanks,
Manfred

Nowadays udev is a transitional dummy package that is present only for backwards compatibility. If someone needs to upgrade a system with the old udev, this one will be replaced with an empty package that depends on eudev. Once the system has been upgrade, the superfluous package can be removed afterwards, as you use to do.
