Looking at the message, I suspect it only happen on machines / chroots
without udev installed.  There are two fixes: (1) Depend on udev or (2)
make the udev init.d script dependency optional.  I recommend (2).

Notice the Required-Start header in the current init.d script:

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          eeepc-acpi-scripts
# Required-Start:    udev mountkernfs $remote_fs
# Required-Stop:     
# Default-Start:     S
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: Load modules which are useful on EeePCs and similar hardware
### END INIT INFO

If udev is moved to Should-Start instead, the init.d script will be installable
also when udev isn't installed.

Btw, are you sure it need to depend on udev mountkernfs and should be
enabled in rcS.d?  I suspect using 'Default-Start: 2 3 4 5' might be a
better option if nothing during early boot or single user mode need
the modules loaded.
