Bug#571136: please remove useless devices from devices.tar.gz

2015 update: the correct[1] list of devices which should be created by 
debootstrap to support containers without udev is:

/dev/null
/dev/zero
/dev/full
/dev/random
/dev/urandom
/dev/tty

Please let's agree on how to fix this, because trying to create the 
other useless devices:
a) is pointless, and
b) prevents running debootstrap in containers

makedev has been orphaned for years and deboostrap should just use 
mknod, without even devices.tar.gz.
