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,
