If udev fails to install one way or another on a supported Debian
kernel, you must file a bug on the udev package so its maintainer can
take care of fixing this bug.

Complaining that a package depends on udev is not going to get you
anywhere, and I'll remind you that the plan for Squeeze is to get rid
of makedev entirely. That means anything depending on udev | makedev
is going to drop the makedev alternative entirely and you're back to
square #1.
