Dear package maintainers,
please do not mess with preexisting files in /dev.

I have static /dev and that suit me well for quite a few systems that
has a static environment, especially system that are intended to for
a long time and where I tend to minimize the number of running
processes, every running process is something that can go wrong.
Their /dev/ files are set up for their intended use, and I don't want
surprises there.

When upgrading it isn't easy to see what package that did
something to /dev so it isn't easy to bug the guilty party.

If sys-fs/static-dev is installed, please do not touch /dev,
if you want you can leave suggestions in some file.

Regards,
/Karl Hammar
