es not make much sense to have a separate package with lsusb and systool, they could be integrated into the udev package. I can send you all the additional stuff (library documentation, userspace tools and manpages) for inclusion) if you really want to merge the upstream packages.

arco, do you plan to use the dynamic library of libsysfs for udev? If so, you have to depend on libsysfs0 anyway and the /sys problem is solved. If you want to keep linking the static library for some reason then there may be a different solution. What do you think? Have a nice day! Martin
