Package: lirc
Version: 0.7.1pre2-2
Severity: normal
Installing lirc results in a prompt asking whether LIRC device nodes should
be created. This is unnecessary user interaction in a maintainer script,
which is best avoided; Policy 10.6 currently allows calling MAKEDEV after
*notifying* the user,
Follow-up:
Since lirc is using major/minor numbers in the Linux local use space, it's
probably not appropriate to actually have /sbin/MAKEDEV support them; which
means that the postinst needs to call mknod directly as it does now.
However, this does the wrong thing on devfs- or udev-using
