But then there is nothing that prevents them from enabling
devtmpfs+eudev as the /dev management system, and separately enable
mdevd. That wouldn't work very well.

On the other hand, if a user enables both openssh and dropbear, in
their default configuration, both will try to listen on TCP port 22,
which won't work as well. So perhaps we can live with having mdevd as a
standalone package, with no specific handling in the /dev management
choice. I'm just a bit worried about users who will enable this mdevd
package, while they are looking for Busybox mdev.
