Indeed. I was just implementing the split up, but it looks weird. You end up 
with a package "busybox-mdev" that contains nothing but an initscript and a 
config file (because the actual "mdev" binary is supplied by busybox), which 
refers to scripts that don't exist, and then an extra busybox-mdev-extraconf 
that supplies these scripts, but doesn't actually contain any configuration 
files in spite of its name. And then I had to find a way to get this package 
installed by default, which also isn't trivial.

So can we keep it al in busybox-mdev? It's a tiny config package anyway, and 
when providing private configs (which should rarely be needed now), it's easy 
enough to replace these in a bbappend.
