This is a due to the execution of update-initramfs creating initrd.img-... This
is the last comment issued when upgrading, and happens with all eudev/udev
upgrades. From eudev.postinst:
update_initramfs() {
  [ -x /usr/sbin/update-initramfs -a -e /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf ] \
    || return 0
  update-initramfs -u
}


configure)
...
    update_initramfs
;;


Have you tried to manually run update-initramfs -u? Or downgraded to 3.2.7-6?
