You must set permissions of the files in .deb before you call
dh_builddeb (or dpkg --build) in debian/rules. dh_fixperms

Device files in .deb are not allowed (see the Policy, section 11.6).
Call MAKEDEV in postinst.

There is no way (yet) to tell dpkg about files that are not in .deb .
Use prerm/postrm.
