+[I] Creates device files for /dev
+
+[T] The MAKEDEV executable is used to create device files, often in /dev.
+[T] The /dev tree holds special files, each of which corresponds to a type
+[T] of hardware device that Linux supports. This package contains a script
+[T] which makes it easier to create and maintain the files which fill a
+[T] /dev tree.
+[T]
+[T] This package isn't used by us, but it's useful when having other
+[T] systems virtualized or jailed inside one OpenSDE-based.
