Grrr. Stupid me.

The most important point is that the above thing happens *before* a /dev/fd
is created. After a /dev/fd is creating, it works the same for old and new
hurd.

Hence the patch. It makes sure that /dev/fd exists before calling dpkg. I
creates also /dev/null because some script needs it.

Thanks,
Marcus
