Sorry, but no. Playing bug ping-pong is not nice.

It has already been brought up on debian-devel several times, and you
have always refused to implement the correct solution of having several
udev versions installable in parallel.

Maybe because not everyone has the time to discuss endlessly with an
uncooperative person when there are so many other issues to fix.

If the system isn't upgradeable, the upgrade should be stopped before it
starts at all. You shouldn't think of your package alone, but in a whole
distribution with hundreds of other packages installed.

Upgrades do fail. Do you want to see a log maybe?
