FWIW, the inclusion of these devices in devices.tar.gz makes debootstrap fail without even a message (filed a separate bug for that) when tar can't mknod the devices (which happens from within a lxc container with the default template). Note cdebootstrap either doesn't create them or doesn't care if it can't create them. Cheers, Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
