Bug #545309 causes me to realize that the recent lowering of priority for makedev to 'extra' motivates a review and update of policy section 10.6.
Given udev, the majority of Debian systems in the future are unlikely to have makedev installed at all. There may be enough usage cases for static devices to motivate keeping it around at priority extra instead of requesting it be removed entirely, but it no longer seems appropriate for policy to mandate the use of MAKEDEV. Also, note that all packages above priority extra that depend on makedev are now buggy with respect to policy section 2.5.
