Due to a lack of PS2 keyboard I can't run your suggested commands in the initramfs shell. One thing was other than I expected: I have booted with 4.18 initrd image running 4.18 kernel, checked via uname. After installing - udev_240-3~test0_amd64.deb - libudev-dev_240-3~test0_amd64.deb - libudev1_240-3~test0_amd64.deb via dpkg -i *.deb only initrd.img-4.19.0-1-amd64 was rebuilt, although 4.18 kernel was running. With the above mentioned udev packages I can boot into 4.18 but not into 4.19.
