/dev/tty* vs. pt[ms]



I'm just running native-install in my QEMU to finish installation of the
Hurd, and it is running a very long list of:

settrans pty?? /hurd/term /dev/pty?? pty-master /dev/tty??
settrans tty?? /hurd/term /dev/tty?? pty-slave /dev/pty??

Is this necessary? I know that in Linux, there's a PT master /dev/ptmx,
with which, with ioctl, one can trigger the creation of a PT slave
/dev/pts/$N where $N is a number.

Curiously,
