Ah, good point.

I'd go the "file-a-bug" route: http://repository.maemo.org/pool/diablo/free/m/makedev/ has a deb, so a regression must've happened. And now that Nokia have given out PR1.1 to testers, I suspect the SDK will be getting updated when Nokia officially release the update so filing a bug now may possibly ensure it gets included in the next SDK release.
