A follow-up on this: After deleting entries from /etc/udev/rules.d that are in /lib/udev/rules.d this issue is completely solved.
One version of the debian packages installs files /etc/udev/rules.d/* but in later versions these files are no longer used and only the /lib/udev/rules.d entries are installed and contained within the package. These /etc/udev/rules.d files have not been modified at all from when contained within the debian package and installed. When upgrading to a package where these files are no longer part of the package they remain on disk. First I tried dpkg --force-all --purge udev when the 146 debian package was installed but the /etc/udev/rules.d files remained so it requied a manual deletion of these files. As 146 had changed to using blkid instead of vol_id for uuid entries my boot was broken as the remaining /etc/udev/rules.d files were an older udev rules version using vol_id program.
