I think you are righ on fact for modern udev (or even devfs) system.
But I haver been using mostly full unstable system vand quite busy to
sest all fancy tricks. Can you elucidate me why this is needed? Also
what kind of system configuration affects this. Also when this became
important. Sarge or Woody...
Also where this needs to be added. You mean like...
main # cd / ; mkdir /sid-root
main # debootstrap sid /sid-root http://ftp.debian.org/debian/
... watch it download the whole system
main # echo "proc-sid /sid-root/proc proc none 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
main # mount proc-sid /sid-root/proc -t proc
main # cp /etc/hosts /sid-root/etc/hosts
main # chroot /sid-root /bin/bash
chroot # cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV generic ; cd -
chroot # apt-setup # set-up /etc/apt/sources.list
chroot # vi /etc/apt/sources.list # point the source to unstable
chroot # dselect # you may use aptitude, install mc and vim :-)
and
main # cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /sid-root/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
main # chroot /sid-root # or use chroot console
chroot # apt-setup # set-up /etc/apt/sources.list
chroot # apt-get install gdm gnome x-window-system
chroot # vi /etc/gdm/gdm.conf # do s/vt7/vt9/ in [servers] section
chroot # /etc/init.d/gdm start
