Why does debootstrap create device nodes at all? Does Debian support setups with /dev being on persistent media? Note that udev has not supported non-devtmpfs boots since a long time. If Debian requires udev, then there's really no point in ever creating a device node in debootstrap, because devtmpfs does that...
