Just to put a number to this, there are currently 126 packages in the
tree with a dependency on sys-fs/udev.
Personally, I think a consolidated systemd/udev package is the best
way to go here. Short of that, the virtual + blockers seems like an
acceptable solution.
Thinking on this, I agree with Mike here, and to make it easier for
maintainers so they don't have to change their dependencies, it should
be a udev ebuild with a systemd use flag.
An alternative to the funky udev[systemd] solution would be to replace
the entire udev ebuild with RDEPEND="sys-apps/systemd", and implement
the requisite logic in the systemd ebuild. This would effectively make
udev a virtual package without the need to modify any other packages.
Long time ago portage managed virtual/* ebuilds differently from the
others, it may be wise to ask to the portage developers if that's still
the case and why/what is done.
