Please upgrade your kernel before or while upgrading udev.
This is your solution.

Thanks. I already tried to find the Jessie kernel, searching through the debian packages website, but I looked for "linux-image"... and didn't find any in the testing release. My mistake - should have searched for "kernel-image". So that's why I didn't try this, but...:

AT YOUR OWN RISK, you can force the installation of this version of udev
WHICH DOES NOT WORK WITH YOUR RUNNING KERNEL AND WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM
AT THE NEXT REBOOT by creating the /etc/udev/kernel-upgrade file.
There is always a safer way to upgrade, do not try this unless you
understand what you are doing!
And here is the method to override the check.

... THAT does the trick - thanks! The amount of warnings and "there is always a safer way..." scared me before.

BTW, what kernel are you running? As far as I understood the Wheezy
kernel should be fine with Jessie udev (but I could be wrong). Kind

version 3.4.9. But: that was a version I've compiled & installed myself some time ago. Although I didn't make any significant changes to the features during compilation, so I would expect no warning messages about this.

Anyway, upgrade process is continuing nicely now - thanks!

Kind regards,
Matthijs
