D.3 in the installation guide documents the procedure on how to install
Debian from an existing Unix/Linux system.

D.3.4.1 at least in the amd64 version of the installation guide[1]
references installing makedev and running it to get a template /dev
filesystem. makedev has been removed as obsolete per #1064931, being
replaced with udev.

Presumably we should just remove the lines about it, the suggestion to
bind-mount the host /dev is already there.

Kind regards

Yeah, that would be a good idea. The warning about postinst scripts
writing to /dev should also no longer apply.

Best,
