I just did a QA upload (isdnutils is orphaned and I was fixing l10n
bugs plus each and every trivial stuff I could find) where calls to
MAKEDEV with an hardcoded path were replaced by calls to "MAKEDEV"
alone.

I'm not sure that will solve the problem. I'm actually sure of the
contrary..:-)

The problem probably comes from makedev being an extra package now
while it was essential in the past.

So, the solution is probably adding it to Depends (or Pre-Depends? I
need to check the policy about this).

Even though I'm not the package maintainer, I can probably easily fix that.
