Hi Marco,
Now that a kernel (and initramfs-tools) maintainer gave the
explanation you requested, how do you think we could proceed with
this?
I'd like to add that udevsettle calls are also needed in other package
scripts (LVM, multipath, etc.) and there's even a wait_for_udev canned
function for this purpose, but these are more optional than yours.
