Bug#717816: userdevfs: includes device files

[Ansgar Burchardt <ansgar@debian.org>]

Package: userdevfs
Version: 0.17

userdevfs includes device files which makes dak's lintian check unhappy
and violates Policy 10.6 (not sure how far this applies for udebs):

As the package description mentions pre-2.6 kernels I'm also wondering
if the package is still needed?
