As Joey Hess argued in:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=476728
udev breaks my system, please drop the dependancy on it.
It seems the issue started with
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=53452
(no explanation to why alsa-utils should depend is given)
wich seems to give rise to:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=539983
Loocking through the source I find no mention on udev except
in the debian directory.
I understand that *if* udev is installed, then you want alsa-utils
init script to be run somewhere after udev's. But if not, then
it is sufficient if it is run after modutils. Is there not another
way to express that than with:
# Required-Start: $remote_fs udev
?
I think it should be sufficient and safe to run alsa-utils init script
after mountall, but some might think that that is too conservative.

The explicit dependency was removed a while ago, making this bug report
obsolete.
That doesn't mean though that udev is really optional.
On a recent Debian system you will need to have a functioning udev to
get full hardware support.
