The hook files are simply moved between packages (plus some minor changes). Conflicts on all involved packages will ensure that you can only install/upgrade together which should prevent breakage. For mdadm_udev use case, things will only break if you are still using the deprecated mdadm hook, since the mdadm→mdadm_udev symlink is now dropped. nl6720
