This is an upstream issue in the first place. The assumption that
everyone is supposed to use those *globally* installed udev scripts that
are targeted to xend and to some extent xl, is simply false.
While i used the debian package as an example, the same is true for
every other xen packages that i looked at.
And adding a Conflicts entry is just not a solution either, since you
need install/removes packages (and restarting udev) to switch toolstacks
whereas my solution involves no such thing.
In any case, installing multiple toolstacks in parallel would *have* to
have a *dynamic* way to execute different udev scripts, which I might
argue that's exactly what i provide in a very simple way with a dummy
file mechanism (not ideal mechanism, but just does the job trivially).
There's more than likely a perfect way to splice the packages to make it
a package issue only, however I'm not terribly interested in putting
more efforts than a *trivial* 1 line change.
Sorry, but I don't think you motivation or lack thereof justifies adding
this sort of hack to the upstream Xen code base.
Please. joking so early !
Those scripts are hacks in the first place, and are taking advantages of
udev flexibility to do horrid stuff.
