While I understand what you are trying to do, I am not sure we can
support this in Buildroot upstream. You want eudev to be in / and
not /usr, but maybe the next person will want this other package to be
in / and not /usr. How do we handle this ? Add one more option to all
packages ? Doesn't seem really maintainable.

I don't really have a good suggestion on how to solve this problem, but
I'm pretty sure that adding an option to the eudev package is the right
solution.

Best regards,

Thomas
