Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.2.1-5
Severity: wishlist

During configuring we should put an file /etc/devfs/devices.d/xbase-clients to 
create /dev/xconsole pipe in devfs systems.

This file may for example look like this:

xconsole        p "" ""         root adm 0640

I'm not sure if this isthe correct way to do this, but it works for 
me.

But what to do if we first install xbase-clients, and after some time 
switch the system to devfs? Maybe create a 
/etc/devfs/devices.d/xbase-clients file just in case the system will 
be switched to devfs later?
