Look at the dot graphs produced by bitbake -g (too large to be viewed in a 
viewer, but you can look at them in text form) or use bitbake -g -u depexp 
which provides a UI for exploring dependencies.

FWIW, looking at the graphs here for core-image-minimal, udev is the most 
likely culprit unless you have something else that needs it (e.g. e2fsprogs).

Cheers,
Paul
