Missing udevsettle in setup-storage

It seems that after setting the boot flag for a partition another
call to udevsettle is needed as otherwise I get errors like:

(CMD) parted -s /dev/sda set 2 boot on 1> /tmp/1M9vjzau1C 2> /tmp/EiBB63qTW8
Executing: parted -s /dev/sda set 2 boot on
(CMD) mkfs.ext3  /dev/sda1 1> /tmp/UuvcTzUOVm 2> /tmp/V6Jwp4NIzT
Executing: mkfs.ext3  /dev/sda1
Command mkfs.ext3  /dev/sda1 had exit code 1
(STDERR) mke2fs 1.41.2 (02-Oct-2008)
(STDERR) Could not stat /dev/sda1 --- No such file or directory
(STDERR) 
(STDERR) The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?

although after the script is done, the partition does exist as it
should. The complete format.log can be seen at 
http://paste.debian.net/20120/, the small patch for this would probably 
look like:
