I had the same problem. I checked the generated initrd file and noticed
that the programs udevd moans about here are missing in the initrd file.
I put this at the end of /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev:

  mkdir $DESTDIR/lib/udev/
  cp /lib/udev/hotplug.functions $DESTDIR/lib/udev/
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/ata_id /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/cdrom_id /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/edd_id /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/firmware.agent /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/ide-devfs.sh /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/ide.agent /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/logger.agent /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/modalias_ieee1394 /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/modalias_serio /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/net.agent /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/path_id /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/raid-devfs.sh /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/scsi-devfs.sh /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/scsi-re-add /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/scsi_id /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/udev_run_devd /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/udev_run_hotplugd /lib/udev
  copy_exec /lib/udev/udevsynthesize /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/usb_id /lib/udev
  copy_exec /lib/udev/vio.agent /lib/udev
  +copy_exec /lib/udev/vol_id /lib/udev

Regenerated the initrd file, and the errors are gone.

cheers,
