Is that a common use case? I wouldn't expect anybody to use static /dev
any more, and if you are using mdev then that is presumably for running
scripts on hotplug events? If so, why not just use the udev daemon for
this?

I do understand this could be useful for using libudev with devtmpfs
/dev, but wouldn't a simple post-build script to rm S10udev + udevd get
us 90% of the way without any extra complexity?
