Thanks for checking!

Right, "udev | makedev" is already in Depends:; the problem shown in
this bug is that (1) udev gets installed, (2) doesn't create the
device in the chroot, and (3) MAKEDEV is not available ...
And (4) MAKEDEV would fail nevertheless because udev is active.
I think we need to check:
* does the device exist?
* is udev inactive and MAKEDEV available?
Next attempt for the patch:

Works, thanks for the hint!
