Yes, both are needed at same time. I tried them alternatively, did not work.
As you mentioned, it drops previleges (file:src/udevil.c ; line:5061).
> Is there a description from upstream how all that is supposed to work?
There is some description in "Set SUID" section of README file
(https://github.com/IgnorantGuru/udevil/blob/master/README).
> Remainder OK.
Thanks!
