The manpage for set_therm says:

However, on my freshly-installed-with-etch-rc1 system, I have a
/dev/temp, not a /dev/temperature. /dev/temp has the right major/minor,
so it seems like /dev/temp should be used instead.
At one point in time, there was objection to using the standard /dev
entry because the netwinder's output format when you read from this
device does not match the standard (celsius vs farenheit, if memory
serves). This may be a moot point, as /proc/therm gives it in
human-readable form anyways.
Out of curiosity, on your newly-minted etch system, do you have some of
the other "netwinder special" devices, like /dev/nwflash for example?
As the upstream maintainer for nwutils, I am happy to make the change if
that's what folks want... I don't read the LSB stuff in too much detail
so I have no idea what the "official" behaviours are supposed to be.

I will check on my unstable system tomorrow.
However the question is if udev is run on etch-rc1? If so, the name is
set by udev rules.
Otherwise a devnode is created in static /dev as /dev/temperature by
postinst (will check the code tomorrow)
