The postinst of isdnutils-base unconditionally displays
"Note: running MAKEDEV to create ISDN devices in /dev..."
and then runs "/sbin/MAKEDEV isdn-tty isdn-io" in /dev .
If that doesn't work properly, then perhaps MAKEDEV is to blame?
What happens if you do the following (as root of course):

    cd /dev
    /sbin/MAKEDEV isdn-tty isdn-io

Is /.dev a devfs filesystem? (I haven't seen a /.dev directory before.)
If a devfs filesystem is detected, then maybe the nodes aren't created...
