Bug#357224: Kernel panic after udev update

[Tonda Míšek <tonda.misek@post.cz>]

I upgraded to initramfs-tools version 0.56 and made this test:
1. dpkg -i udev_0.087-1_i386.deb
2. reboot (system was bootable)
3. dpkg -i udev_0.087-2_i386.deb
4. reboot (system was bootable)
5. dpkg -i initramfs-tools_0.53c_all.deb
6. reboot (Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 
unknown-block(3,6))

My problem was that after update from udev_0.087-1_i386.deb to 
udev_0.087-2_i386.deb system was in unbootable state. I was able to 
solve the problem manually by reinstalling (big gun but works) udev, 
linux-image and initramfs-tools.
I think that my problem was solved between initramfs-tools_0.53c_all.deb 
and initramfs-tools_0.56_all.deb.

Thanks for your time.
Nice day,
TonyMi
