The rootdelay parameter used to be important as a workaround for our crappy device scanning. It's less widely needed now but still needed for some md-RAID configurations. The delay used to be implemented in udev's init-top script, but was removed from there in Debian version 220-4 and the systemd maintainers do not want to restore it. So implement it in init, where it probably always should have been. I would like to un-export ROOTDELAY now, but several other packages use it to control their own delay or polling. For now, document it as deprecated. To avoid doubling the delay when using an older udev, make mkinitramfs patch it out of the udev init-top script.
