I'm probably missing something but why udev need to run before anything
else that depends on syslog?
Do you have services that generate /dev events?

Did you try something like (or some variation of) the following:
(Not tested)

$cat /etc/init.d/restart-udev 
#! /bin/sh

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:             runtime udev
# Required-Start:       $syslog
# Required-Stop:        $syslog
# Default-Start:        2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description:    runtime udev: log to syslog
### END INIT INFO

set -e

case "$1" in
  start|restart)
  /etc/init.d/udev restart
  ;;
  stop)
  /etc/init.d/udev stop
  ;;
  status)
  /etc/init.d/udev status
  ;;
esac

exit 0
