The makedev version in testing is -75, the version in unstable is now -77.
The changelog content between the two is:
makedev (2.3.1-77) unstable; urgency=medium
* update udev handling on advice from Marco d'Itri. Handles more cases
and provides the ability to override the avoidance logic if environment
variable WRITE_ON_UDEV is set. Urgency medium to help a new udev upload
depending on this behavior get into sarge. closes: #264421
* change hwrandom to hwrng, closes: #295324
* patch from Gaudenz Steinlin to add input/uinput support, closes: #294361
* remove README.Debian, since the content is obsolete

makedev (2.3.1-76) unstable; urgency=low
* make ppc64 an alias for powerpc, closes: #282687
* add ttyB[0-7] to generic-hppa for console on K-class, etc, closes: #293705
* add initial support for uba*, closes: #278237
* add a target pmu duplicating pmu part of misc, closes: #267670, #277195
* fix man page bug with mcdx, closes: #285258
* add dac960_gam creation to dac960 target, closes: #272333

Of this, I believe only the change of hwrandom to hwrng has the potential
to "break" anything already existing, and I can't think of anything essential
that depends on that target. The ttyB change enables use of d-i on some hppa
big-iron systems like the K class where it currently doesn't work.
The things that were "added" are low risk. As long as I didn't completely
break the MAKEDEV shell script in the process, the code paths behind those
targets don't tend to get touched by anything d-i related.
Bottom line is that yes, I think pushing -77 into testing is ok.

The substantive changes from -76 to -77 are the udev ones, and those were
reviewed by Marco before upload. The -76 stuff has been in unstable for a
while, so those changes should all be ok. If Marco is happy with -77, I'd
be inclined to push it on in to testing.
