No offense, but I hope you realize the amount of effort that will be
needed for devfsd. Since it is a key element in our 2.4.x upgrade path,
the amount of policy and technical bugs will be tremendous (permissions,
adding support for default compatibility devices, etc..).

I just don't want to see anyone go lightly into packaging devfsd. If you
aren't prepared to take on the responsiblity of what will most likely
become a base and essential package, leave it for some one else to do.
