Could you be convinced to try udev 141? When I build it, its only 
runtime dependencies are glibc and libvolume-id.

I'd suggest adding a comment above this setting, something like:

# Pin an older udev to avoid space consuming dependencies.

Otherwise the rationale doesn't show unless you do a git blame.

I'll do some testing with 124. Until recently, udev 124 was the
highest version without D_P = -1, so it has had more testing with
distros that don't pin anything (in particular, with minimal).

Miscommunication between brain and keyboard. I meant, i'll test 141.

Well udev 141 seems to work ok, but micro-uclibc/micro-image is 100k
bigger, at 1069155 bytes.

Perhaps IMAGE_DEV_MANAGER = "busybox-mdev" should be a distro policy
for one or both of the micros.
