How can I tell mkinitcpio to include a custom udev rule? Do I need to write a hook for that? How can a hook for this look like?
AFAIK, using FILES="path-to-udev-rule-file" should be enough. The udev binaries and basic rules are already there, so adding the custom rule to the image should make it work automagically.

Well, your solution was correct after all. The only thing missing was the psmouse module, which needed to be added to the initrd. Before adding that module, only a generic mouse device appeared in sysfs and my udev rule had no attribute sensitivity which it wanted to set. Thanks to Dave for pointing out the break-option which proved to be useful for examining sysfs as seen by the initrd. Now the struggle after rebooting has again lost some of its quirks ;) Greetings, Christoph
