Package: tpb
Severity: important

tpb depends on makedev. At a minimum, it should add an alternative for
udev. Better yet, it should not depend on any device scripts at all,
and assume that the devices already exist, which they likely do on
either a static /dev system or a udev-based system.

You should also remove any code referencing devfs (which has been
removed from kernels long ago) and /dev/.udev.tdb (this file does not
exist anymore since well before etch).

I also believe that it's inappropriate to have a debconf question about
running MAKEDEV, if you really want to run it just do it unconditionally
(even if udev is active). If you do, you must call /dev/MAKEDEV instead
of /sbin/MAKEDEV, because the second one is not guaranteed to exist.
