And now were at the present and me writing this email. Add the netcfg dependency to initscripts, and the initscripts>=2008.02-1 to udev 118, and I'm happy.
This is a little off. a) netcfg isn't required, so it'd be an optdepend. Still, an install message would be a good idea for this. b) udev 118 doesn't depend on initscripts. It's the other way around. Sure adding that dep would have fixed your issue, but it's still not the right way to fix this... the real fix is to re-release a udev package that still contains start_udev.
What about JGC's suggestion of using versioned conflict? I think it makes sense. http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2008-February/004899.html
