That's not true, as the dependency had an alternative ‘makedev | udev’,
here the proper fix was to switch them to ‘udev | makedev’ as MAKEDEV
is being used in the postinst. Also removing makedev makes it
impossible to use bluez w/o udev which some might desire.

So please revert this and switch the order instead.
