direct mknod inevitable or drop old stuff in irda-utils?



hello folks...

i am currently overhauling the package irda-utils and stumbled upon an
error, where both lintian and linda complained that my postinst uses
mknod.

the reason for the usage of mknod is that MAKEDEV does not support the
old IrDA major/minor devices anymore. as i was told, the nodes changed
sometime after kernel 2.0.x.

so my question is: shall i drop the support for the old nodes, too?
personally, i am favoring that solution, but what do you think?

cheers,
 sebastian
