Dear Christoph,
thank you for your report.
Indeed, it is not even guaranteed anymore that MAKEDEV will be present
on a system, so the Policy is definitely broken.
Given the lack of feedback for the last two months on this list, do
you think you could raise the issue on debian-devel ?
Have a nice week-end,
