The script init.d/parted from package parted creates them. The only
difference between LVM and MD is that the short program parted_devices
(which Marthin has quoted) lists the LVM devices but doesn't list the
MD devices. You have two choices: 1. see why parted_devices doesn't
work for MD (the bug is somewhere either in libparted or in the
kernel) or 2. use a script mk-devices as you do now.
I was surprised when I saw for first time in an installation report
that partman recognised the LVM devices -- this was before the package
partman-lvm was created. I intended to create the device directories
for LVM in the same way you do in partman-md but libparted did this
part of the work for me.
