If you want use libraw1394, it is necessary to create /dev/raw1394 in
all cases (in a native system or in a chroot).
libraw1394 need makedev or udev.
If udev is not installed, normaly, makedev is installed by default.
I don't know why udev is not active is a chroot, you may ask that to
Marco d'Itry, the udev's maintainer, but it must be active, else
libraw1394 will not work.
I think this is not a solution to make conditions in my postinst because if
/dev/MAKEDEV
is not found, /dev/raw1394 won't be create and libraw1394 won't work.
