No, they wouldn't be; that is a good reason to question the value of the
eclass itself. Maybe the correct way to do this is to forget the eclass
and just file bugs against packages that break having them move their
rules to the new location and set a dependency on the newer udev.
This would have to be a rev bump for the broken packages.
