OK, I figured it out, it was indeed an override script in /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/udev
which overrides the one in /usr/share. It was based on an earlier version of udev and of course didn't get updated. I do not even recall why I created it. Of course, I suspect that anyone with such a script (not many, I assume) will run into the same trouble. Maybe still put a check in the install script which looks for a file there and warns, at least, if it exists ?

But then again, if your initramfs was not updated, it should still have the old udev 175, which uses /sbin/udevd. So this actually doesn't explain your problem either. If the above output is indeed from your system's /usr/share/initramfs-tools then you must have something like a dpkg-override or similar which is not coming from the package.
