I just realised that udevd links against libselinux, so even if we fix
selinux-timestamp I still won't be winning on that front - and I don't
see an easy way to keep udevd out of a dracut initramfs.

However, dropping the link against libcap (which also includes
libattr) would be nice. Here is a patch to do that.


Now that udev is included in systemd I will use this opportunity to
moan a little about the next dependency lover that gets included in
the initramfs: udevadm.

/usr/bin/udevadm
	linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb771f000)
	libselinux.so.1 => /lib/libselinux.so.1 (0xb76b9000)
	libblkid.so.1 => /lib/libblkid.so.1 (0xb768f000)
	libkmod.so.2 => /lib/libkmod.so.2 (0xb7677000)
	librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0xb766e000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb74be000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb74b9000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4610a000)
	libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0xb74b3000)
	liblzma.so.5 => /lib/liblzma.so.5 (0xb748a000)
	libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7474000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7459000)

Don't suppose there is any obvious reduction possible here?

Thanks,
Daniel
