Well the udev tranistional packages need an epoch to enable installation of eudev from udev systems. Using an epoch makes them newer than any udev version like 243. As they depend on eudev packages it makes installation of eudev from debian jessie, stretch, buster etc.

I cannot view the source packages from here, sorry. Maybe You are right that they are versioned. If so we might make them unversioned so they don’t have to be upgraded in lockstep.

See above.

Thank You too.
