udev is using initramfs-tools hooks so needs to to update the
initramfs if initramfs-tools is installed and configured.
evms adds also his hooks.

needs still to be done for lvm2 and mdadm. as currently you have
nice races between initramfs generation and possible later lvm2
installation + root creation that will then miss the dm/md stuff
in the initramfs.

indeed there is a bug in update-initramfs triggered due to the
new kernel upgrade seen in the udev postinst:
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-1-mckinley was been altered.  Cannot update.
