Package: udev
Version: 0.114-2
Severity: important

udev.prerm contains:
kill_udevd() {
    start-stop-daemon --stop --name udevd --oknodo --quiet --retry 5
}

Which will kill any process on the system that has a name of "udevd". 
This means that if udev is being installed in a chroot and is later
removed, (as a buildd does when udev ends up as a build-dependency)
udev in the root environment will be stopped.

This is usually solved by using a PID file, which gets created in the chroot
in question.  It may also be possible to enhance start-stop-daemon to restrict
processes to the same root directory, by checking in /proc if the s-s-d process
and the process to be killed have the same root directory.
