Subject: mdev was kicked off by eudev/udev after update

Hi,

I am running 3 virtualization host with Alpine 3.19.0 on x86_64 
hardware. The hosts virtualize with lxc and qemu-kvm.
I enjoy the minimalistic and deterministic behaviour in Alpine Linux 
very well!

Today after an update the already running mdev, as seen in 
/var/log/rc.log, was kicked off by the later dynamically startet 
/sbin/udev, provided by eudev*, also shown by rc-status -v.
rc-update -v shows no start dependency for the 4 (!) udev init scripts.

Because of dependencies apk del eudev* ist sadly not possible.

My workaround was now sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/udev*. After a reboot 
mdev does its work as always, the usb smart card reader is passed 
through to a qemu kvm vm to unlock the var-lib-partition.

How to get rid of eudev/udev to get a clean system again?
I need no huge udev-rules, which are not used at all - all is in mdev.conf.

Should the dependencies be adjusted?
