Using libudev makes the packaging more complicated (now we need to ship libudev in the snap) and is also not really needed because we do not use any of the dynamic niceness of libudev. We just use it to detect removable devices which we can equally well do with the output of udevadm. So instead of using a cool and small cgo based libgudev wrapper we go back to good old text parsing.
