Bug#908796: udev (with sysvinit) fails to find devices at boot

[Trek]

Hi,

is there any blocking to fix this bug? can I help in some way?

this is nearly a release critical bug, as it "makes unrelated software
on the system break" (cryptsetup) and "the whole system" (some system
don't boot)

if dpkg can't be upgraded before the freeze, can we add a workaround to
the cryptsetup package? the workaround would be to remove the udev
control socket before sendsigs


thank you!
