Ah, that makes sense. A quick read of /etc/init.d/udev and the udev package changelog says it's probably that --notify-await option at the end of the first call. I can't believe people are still adding cruft to sysv-rc helpers in 2019. Or that people still think using sysvinit/sysv-rc is a *good idea*. (Or that start-stop-daemon is part of *dpkg* of all things!)
