For this, I would say it's usual Jbj bullshit because it didn't try to
search prior art in mdv world:

1) /dev/null is created by makedev which is required by basesystem-minimal.
2) anyway, urpmi creates /dev/null if it doesn't exists anyway.
3) urpmi is used by drakx-installer too.

Every case should be thus covered.
However he did saw this error.
Since we haven't seen this error before, I would like to look how it
performed what he did.
