 Packages which need to create a device node must depend on udev | makedev.
 
 Also, MAKEDEV must be called as ./MAKEDEV and not /sbin/MAKEDEV

If udev is always a suitable replacement, why doesn't it just Provide
it?

Because it's not. There are a couple of packages which actually need to
manually create device nodes.
