This is nowhere mentioned in the ebuild. I'd actually prefer this to be made optional via flag.

Thanks for your work!

> made optional via flag

Upstream's configure script doesn't provide an option for this, so either this needs to be patched or udev made a hard dependency.

Fix commited upstream and live ebuild fixed.

Fixed in 7.0.0
