We are using the same rules as in the real root since we use udev in
initramfs. Only one initramfs specific rule is created on-the-fly by
the initramfs itself, based on the vales from the boot command line.

I'm not against adding such a directory, but what kind of rules do you
think would go there? I'm at the moment not sure, that they would need
to be different.

Thanks,
