Bug#543592: RFA: makedev -- creates device files in /dev

[bdale@gag.com (Bdale Garbee)]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Historically, makedev is how static entries in /dev were created... but most 
modern systems now use dynamic device discovery approaches such as that 
provided by udev.  The MAKEDEV script still has some utility for developers
of embedded systems and other special cases.

I recently transitioned makedev from 'required' to 'extra' in Debian, and as
I am no longer using it, I would prefer to no longer maintain it.
