Let's see what I used in my most recent eudev package:
Replaces: udev (<< 215-17ebbian1),
udev-systemd
Conflicts: udev-systemd
So it looks like I dropped the B reaks line since my last push to
Devuan? I guess it was causing some difficulty for me, but I didn't
document what it was.
I took the Replaces/Conflicts from other packages in the Debian repo
that changed names and had multiple providers.
All of the package names are still "udev-*"; there are just both eudev-*
and udev-systemd-* flavored providers of them. The "udev-*" ones are
just meta packages or shims.
I've been bad about pushing to github, but I do have the x86 packages up
for Jessie:
http://ftp.ebbian.org/ebbian/pool/main/e/eudev/
Looks like I have a few other piddle build fixes in that source since I
stopped pushing to Devuan, too.

Provides, Replaces and Breaks in the correct combination will ensure
both complete replacement without recompiling depending packages.
Ideally we should also apply those labels also to the systemd-udev
package to ensure a complete switching between as well as extend the
test suite to ensure the switching between them is tested and works
properly too.

Hello Hendrik, I think that was the idea of Jaret to change
all package names into * eudev*, instead of keeping them the
same as Gentoo does. But I could never made it properly
working as a lot of packages still depend on mostly libudev.
So I just followed Gentoo's approach in which we have
to choose either to install udev or eudev, even both use the
same package name. Perhaps if I would recompile all of the
packages to make them depend on libeudev, it should work. But
due to my lack of knowledge and experience on Debian
packaging, I didn't dare to start.
Hi,
Isn't the Debian package Depends: Replaces: and Conflicts: exactly
designed for that?
