11 udev and kmod do not have any dependencies on lvm2 or cryptsetup. The
12 issue is that lvm2/cryptsetup[static] need the libkmod.a and libudev.a
13 static libraries.
14
15 There is a hack in our udev and kmod ebuilds that makes it possible to
16 build the static libraries, but I think we should remove that hack since
17 upstream bans building them.
