The practical impact here is that until this bug is fixed, due to the
archive lintian checks currently in place, this package can't be uploaded -
including for security NMUs.

So I would suggest that you upload, even though IMHO there's no reason to
consider fifos "device files" under 10.6 and we should fix lintian as well.
(Policy doesn't talk about mknod, it talks about "device files"; so 'mknod
p' and 'mkfifo' are equally valid or invalid.)

Cheers,
