Ok, thanks for the clue.  The problem is actually in libdevmapper1.01.
It needs two additional options to the configure invocation to get the
default group and permissions right on device nodes it creates:

	--with-device-mode=0660 --with-device-gid=6

Without these, it creates them as root/root/0600 by default, which is
wrong for Debian.
