I don't know what to make of this.
What is the result of `md5sum /var/cache/apt/archives/makedev*`?

Hmm. Maybe you could add "set -x" as the second line of
/var/lib/dpkg/info/makedev.postinst. And, since it reboots
immediately, add "exec 1>/home/stdout" and "exec 2>/home/stderr" as
lines 3 and 4. That will hopefully indicate which line causes the
reboot. Then, mail the contents of /home/std{out,err} to the bug.
