Reopening this bug report is correct. I won't play re-open tag with you, though I hope you will consider re-opening the bug. Just checking for devtmpfs in /proc/filesystems is not enough. The update caused my system to stop booting, which no update should ever do. You are correct that I have no initramfs. I did have an up-to-date /etc/init.d/udev.
