Many packages (R)DEPEND on udev, it's very hard to build anything these days 
without dragging in udev.

What I usually do is add

PROVIDES += "udev"
RPROVIDES_${PN}-mdev += "udev"

to the busybox recipe, and just assume that whatever all those packages 
claim they need udev for, is provided by mdev as well...

And set a

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_udev = "busybox"

(I do that from the distro. People might argue this has to be an image 
decision instead of a distro decision, but I prefer to set 
IMAGE_DEV_MANAGER in the distro instead of the image..)

Rgds, Pieter
