upgrading udev trouble

If you want to use a kernel from Debian Backports you have to upgrade udev which currently doesn't have a usable upgrade path due to a dependency loop with initramfs-tools. To work around that trouble get the packages from backports, stop udev ignoring the warning, install udev and initramfs-tools with dpkg --force-depends and finally install the linux-image of desire.
