Bug#347473: makedev: please add em8300 devices

[Nicolas Boullis]

Package: makedev
Version: 2.3.1-79
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

For quite some time, I've been generating /dev/em8300* devices in 
em8300's postinst script, in violation with the policy. Can you please 
apply the attached patch, so I can rely on MAKEDEV for the creation of 
these device files?


Thanks in advance,

Nicolas
