But if you want to build an intird with mkinitrd (or --initrd option of

I didn't know that initrd depends on it, but certainly the debian
installer needs devfs. So that means no recent kernels for the debian
installer, I guess? I certainly think that this is going to be a
problem for installing Sarge on modern machines, and an unnecessary
one too, because devfs was declared dead a long time ago.
