This was a sysvinit specific problem which was fixed in 208-7 and 208-8
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=749021

See /etc/init.d/udev: make_static_nodes().

/bin/kmod static-nodes --format=tmpfiles --output=/proc/self/fd/1
is supposed to ouput (among others)

c /dev/ppp 0600 - - - 108:0

which is then created by the script.
If that fails for you, I'd suggest you start debugging the sysv init
script by using set -x

That might be another sysvinit specific issue, namely
