Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.85h
Severity: important
mkinitramfs (called by update-initramfs, called in postinst) does not work
properly if the config files to be included in the initramfs are symlinks:

strace shows that cpio is already called with --dereference. Since I didn't
find anything about udev in /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs, I don't know how to
proceed further to fix this bug.

i retried to reproduce your bug and could easily
with broken symlinks.
it seems pretty evident that your /etc/udev/links.conf
is pointing to /infra/system-1.0/udev/links.conf and not
/etc/infra/system-1.0/udev/links.conf
thus closing
