Of course with makedev, if possible. But we are talking about exotic
device files here, not supported by makedev. Since bdale does not
release makedev too frequently, the package maintainer has to emulate
the missing feature in the meantime.

I do. If the files are essential for the package, ie. DVB drivers, they
should be created without bothering the user one more time.
