I'll keep it in mind for first sane build for 11.0.

Because older SUSE versions didn't use udev, but have hotplug as 
separate package. So it was easier simply to use hotplug as requirement 
for all builds. When this doesn't work for 11.0 anymore, I have to add 
a version depending dependency and I also can check for >= 10.3 on the 
next rebuild.
