So, the issue was raised in 2010:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=593625#25
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=590665#20
and the resolution was made that the udev script should NOT delete
the database, which was reflected in udev's ChangeLog (then it was a separate
package yet):
===
udev (167-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream release.
* Do not delete the database created by the initramfs udev, for the
benefit of newer versions of lvm. This Breaks dmsetup << 2.02.84-1.
See #590665 and #593625.
* Switch to the gir 1.2 format, courtesy of Emilio Pozuelo Monfort.
(Closes: #620335)
* Actually enable support for persistent names of virtio block devices
introduced in 166-1. (Closes: #617658)
* Changed net.agent to invoke a systemd event instead of running
ifup when systemd is active. (Closes: #610871)
* Clarify in README.Debian that $NEED_PERSISTENT_NET must be exported
there as well. (Closes: #618420)
* The udev package becomes Multi-Arch: foreign.

BUT! Then suddenly in a month the urge for the base cleanup is back:
===
udev (169-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream release. Fixes:
+ udevadm settle being unreliable at early boot time. (Closes: #624010)
* Use "udevadm control --exit" in the initramfs instead of manually
killing each udevd process. (Closes: #624469)
* Init script: clean up the initramfs udev database even when it is
in /run/. (Closes: #626873)

I'm just out of words, honestly. The renowned distro at its best.
