Sorry, there is no way to do so in sysvinit.  Sysvinit itself doesn't depend
on udev thus it _really_ doesn't want a 450KB extra in tiny containers --
and there are many other inits: runit-init, all those dumb-init finit-sysv
pid1 tiny, see my .sig; then it's fully valid and supported to run without
any init at all.

The fix must be done in the package that regressed -- ie, udev.

And I really don't appreciate adding 450KB to small containers; reducing
their size is something many of us is fighting for for many years.


Meow!
