I think we go for mdev by default and to install desktop you'd install
udev and updated the runlevels:

  rc-update add udev sysinit
  rc-update add udev-postmount default
  rc-update del mdev sysinit
  rc-update del hwdrivers sysinit

We will probably need a setup-dektop script or similar.

In other words, unless you apk add udev and do the above, you'll be using m=
dev.

the packages linked to libudev will pull in udev fo your, but you'd
need update runlevels manually.
