I think you are righ on fact for modern udev (or even devfs) system.

But I haver been using mostly full unstable system vand quite busy to
sest all fancy tricks.  Can you elucidate me why this is needed?  Also
what kind of system configuration affects this.  Also when this became
important.  Sarge or Woody...

Also where this needs to be added.  You mean like...

     main # cd / ; mkdir /sid-root
     main # debootstrap sid /sid-root http://ftp.debian.org/debian/
     ... watch it download the whole system
     main # echo "proc-sid /sid-root/proc proc none 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
     main # mount proc-sid /sid-root/proc -t proc
     main # cp /etc/hosts /sid-root/etc/hosts
     main # chroot /sid-root /bin/bash
     chroot # cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV generic ; cd -
     chroot # apt-setup # set-up /etc/apt/sources.list
     chroot # vi /etc/apt/sources.list # point the source to unstable
     chroot # dselect  # you may use aptitude, install mc and vim :-)

and

     main # cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /sid-root/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
     main # chroot /sid-root # or use chroot console
     chroot # apt-setup # set-up /etc/apt/sources.list
     chroot # apt-get install gdm gnome x-window-system
     chroot # vi /etc/gdm/gdm.conf # do s/vt7/vt9/ in [servers] section
     chroot # /etc/init.d/gdm start
