Bug#406890: makedev: does not guarantee input directory while creating uinput

[Colin Watson]

Package: makedev
Version: 2.3.1-83
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

  $ sudo ./MAKEDEV uinput
  udev active, devices will be created in /dev/.static/dev/
  mknod: `input/uinput-': No such file or directory
  makedev input/uinput c 10 223 root root 0660: failed

Unlike for all other device nodes in subdirectories, MAKEDEV doesn't
guarantee that the input directory exists before trying to create
input/uinput. Patch attached.

Thanks,
