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.
