    Is there any way to not have both the hwdb.bin (which I assume
    is a binary version of the hardware databases) and /etc/udev/hwdb.d?
    Perhaps there is some way to only use one?

    Or maybe there is a better choice, such as mdev?  I'm not sure about
    this (no experience) but my system needs to handle plug&play devices
    which the current eudev does well.  It's just a huge "price" to pay.


You could not install hwdb at all, it's a recommends so you can BAD_RECOMMENDS 
it away.  It's certainly possible to wipe
away the source files for hwdb if you don't care about extending them at 
runtime but nobody has done that yet: a rootfs
postproccess hook could delete it and confirm that everything works fine.

Can you explain a bit more? - BAD_RECOMMENDS doesn't seem to be documented.
