A lintian warning question

[tbarreno@delegacion.fisica.ull.es (Tinguaro Barreno Delgado)]

Hello everyone,

  I'm packaging saoimage (1.24) and I've got a question:

  Once I've packaged it, lintian reports:

$lintian saoimage_1.24-1_i386.deb
W: saoimage: mknod-in-maintainer-script postinst:4
W: saoimage: mknod-in-maintainer-script postinst:5
$

  And the postinst does :

#!/bin/sh
set -e
#
/bin/mknod -m 777 /dev/imt1i p
/bin/mknod -m 777 /dev/imt1o p
ln -s /dev/imt1o /dev/imt1
 

  Must I contact with the makedev maintainer for make those pipes or ask to
lintian developers for an exception?


   Thanks.
