Package: MAKEDEV
Version: 3.3.8.2-0
Severity: normal

I use udev, which created the fraembuffer device /dev/fb/0.  Now,
when MAKEDEV fb is called (for example from fbset's postinst), it
fails, trying to overwrite the directory /dev/fb with a symlink:

| [EMAIL PROTECTED]/dev> sudo ./MAKEDEV -v fb
| symlink fb -> fb0
| error making /dev/fb: File exists

Shouldn't MAKEDEV just ignore such a call when it detects udev and
just exit with exitcode 0?  Or maybe just create the device in
/dev/.static/dev/ or so?
