I already suggested that the selection of eudev vs. systemd should not
be in Target Packages, and Eric already made a proposal to solve this.
In fact, we don't need any new configuration option: when the systemd
init system is selected, then systemd is used. When another init
systemd is used, but the selected /dev management method is udev, then
we use eudev.

There's no need for more options. The only thing that Eric proposed is
to re-order the Init System selection vs. the /dev management selection
to make things a bit more logical.
