It's intended. It's just pkg-config files for now, and if anything is added in the future, it will be more static arch-independent stuff. It doesn't make sense to have an udev-specific package for a single pkg- config file, and if one is needed, most likely the other is needed too, to get files installation paths. And the dependency is there because files moved, so it would break reverse dependencies expecting to find them. Also they are intended to be available at runtime too, for scripts that want to know where to install things. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
