I'm attaching git patches that can be 'git am' on top of the master
branch at
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/sysvinit/-/tree/master?ref_type=heads

Since I'm on holiday and away from from my testing setup, I did no test
to ensure that this warks as intended, so consider it as experimental.
Also, the "breaks and replaces" patch need to be amended with the
version of systemd that removes the udev script, which is unknwnown to
me (I used the unreleased 254.1-3, which of course is wrong).
Anyway I think there need to be some work on udev's side to ensure that
the udev script is not removed when the initscripts package is
installed in the system.

Hope this helps,
Lorenzo
