But anyway...  :-)

Actually, it doesn't require anything new, and we won't add any of those
new packages to the book.  (At least not anytime soon.)  See later in
the thread you mention; --disable-extras is sufficient to turn off all
the stuff that was formerly part of the udev-extras repository, which we
don't use anyway.  All the new requirements are met by our use of glibc
2.10.1 plus linux-2.6.x.* headers and kernel (with x >= 29), plus the
fact that we never start up udevd until after the first boot.

I'm not running udev-143 on this machine yet, due to lack of time to get
the upgrade done.  But I plan to do that upgrade tomorrow; I don't
expect any problems.  (I've already created the <sys/signalfd.h> header
that's required, and tested a git version of udev after they made those
commits.)
