Lintian tag: mknod-in-maintainer-script
Type: error
Description (from lintian-explain-tags)
Maintainer scripts must not create device files directly. They should call
MAKEDEV instead.
If mknod is being used to create a FIFO (named pipe), use mkfifo instead
to avoid triggering this tag.
Please refer to Device files (Section 10.6) in the Debian Policy Manual
for details.
