libudev on its own doesn't make any sense, it needs to communicate with
udev somehow, I believe.
And anyway, in Buildroot, we don't want to derive from upstream, so we
clearly don't want to rip some part of an upstream package and make it
a new upstream package.
If someone is not happy with upstream, then start a new upstream
project, or fix the upstream project directly. It doesn't make sense to
fix upstream at Buildroot's level.
Best regards,
Thomas
