Udev was indeed installed in LFS and there is no reason to reinstall it unless you are going to install a package such as UPower. This installation of Udev enables extra features which includes gudev, a requirement for UPower and optionally used by other packages.
Unlike any other package in the BLFS book, there is no set version of Udev specified to download. Several version updates to LFS and none to BLFS means there are probably many different versions of Udev on the platforms that BLFS is being built upon. Therefore, you should download and use the version of Udev your computer currently uses. The BLFS team has no experience updating (or reverting to an older version) the Udev package “on the fly.” To discover the version of Udev your computer currently uses, issue /sbin/udevadm --version.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-6.5 platform. (Using Udev-151)
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-SVN-20101029 platform. (Using Udev-164)
