IMO, nothing in FHS or LSB should be telling you what files in /dev to

exist is a pointless exercise. They'll exist if they exist.

<Endy> Actually, I think I'll wait for potato to be finalised before
installing debian.
<Endy> That should be soon, I'm hoping. :)
<knghtbrd> Endy: You obviously know very little about Debian.
