The following occurs when I try to install a new version of udev...
seems to be caused by 'initscripts', which is - I have no idea why - not installed on 
my system...

not sure if I should file a bug. seems too trivial a problem to me?!

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  udev: Depends: initscripts (>= 2.85-10) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
