Lintian tag: special-file

Type: error

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The package contains a so-called special file, like a device file. That is
forbidden by policy.

If your program needs the device file, you should create it by calling
makedev from the postinst maintainer script.

Please refer to Device files (Section 10.6) in the Debian Policy Manual
for details.
