short explanation: yes

longer one: 

     rpm doesn't just do a "rpm2cpio | cpio -id"; this little bastard
     extract all files in temp files such as /dev/toto =>
     /dev/toto;54d4af6, and rename them all after all files've been
     extracted; thus he can roll back if the cpio is corrupted.

this is why the new rpm will install faster ...

why do you want to remove all /dev/ entries
