In the Ubuntu 22.04 desktop distribution, when users did not enable updating packages over the network, installing libudev1 resulted in the removal of a large number of critical packages and made the system largely unusable.
As shown above, such a simple apt install command can cause system damage.

This issue was reported to Ubuntu by users in May, and two months later, a patch to fix the issue is being actively merged into upstream APT and eventually ported to Ubuntu 22.04.

For future releases of Ubuntu/Debian, it looks like this merge for APT is being carried over, and when one of the source packages is upgraded/installed, all other binaries are upgraded.
