The script attempts to prevent unneeded udev rules from getting into the
initramfs. At one point iscan shipped a botched udev rules file that
could prevent your machine from booting up when included. Ever since we
got a bit more careful.
The rules files takes care of configuring supported scanner devices.
We don't see any reason you would need access to your scanner at the
boot stage where an initramfs is used.
FWIW, the file in our statedir lists files we don't want to end up in
the DESTDIR.

There is nothing to be done if udev is not installed.
Hope this helps,
