Yes, this would be able to solve the problem with live-initramfs.  

but if any other hook copies the udevsettle file before that udev, the problem 
is not solved yet.

in the more purist line, is not correct that udev creates links to files when 
initramfs-tools will replace all links by their corresponding files.
Should be initramfs-tools who copies correctly the files and creates links 
when necessary;
In the same form that does my version of initramfs-tools that I am using at 
present.

To be more generalistic, the initramfs hooks only should specify what programs 
they want to include, and initramfs-tools is in charge of organizing all the 
rest.
