Yes, If makedev is installed. If I remove makedev dpkg --purge makedev  it is not there.
Again bluez-utils is depending on udev OR makedev.

Eddy Petrişor can I close this as a duplicate bug? I don't think we need four bugs for the same issue.

My proposed patch is:
  if [ -x "$(command -v MAKEDEV)" ]; then
    echo "Creating device nodes ..."
    cd /dev; MAKEDEV bluetooth
  fi

Thanks to Martin F. Krafft for patch above also fixing similar problem in fuse-utils #385696.
Also policy say it is bad to depend a full path to binary and this patch will obey and use MAKEDEV in the path.
