RE: udev and kernel 2.6.12
It seems there is a bug in the linux-image-2.6.12 package - it should depend at least on module-init-tools (responsible for creating initrd) and it does not depend on anything!
As a workaround do the following:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install -f // for sure
# apt-get install module-init-tools
# apt-get install linux-image-2.6.12-1-686
Debain SID is recently broken more than usually :-(
