I think the PACKAGECONFIG option would cause fewer surprises (perhaps?). 
Otherwise anyone currently using the crda package with udev will now 
have to change a previously-working build (to add the new crda-udev 
package) so it can continue working. Is it possible to have the 
crda-udev package automatically selected if udev is a distro feature and 
the crda package is part of the image?
