Bug#339568: initramfs-tools: incompatibility with udev 0.74 (0.72.2 and beyond)

[Paul Traina <reportbug@st04.pst.org>]

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.38
Severity: important
Tags: patch

udev 0.74 moved some files around, initramfs-tools needs to adapt to the
new version.  (also, udev should have marked itself incompatible with
current versions of initramfs-tools until you apply my changes, but that
is their bug, not yours...)

in mkinitramfs:

remove the line copying /sbin/udev
replace the line copying /lib/hotplug to instead copy /lib/udev

and make initramfs-tools conflict with any version of udev prior to
0.72.2
