Bug#546876: depends on extra package (makedev)

[Xavier Bestel]

Package: mdadm
Version: 3.0-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.5


Hi,

your package depends on "makedev" which is an "extra" packages.
That's a violation of Debian Policy 2.5:
"Packages must not depend on packages with lower priority values (excluding build-time dependencies). In order to ensure this, the priorities of one or more packages may need to be adjusted."

Moreover, this makes "makedev" un-uninstallable and so blocks the sysv-rc conversion to dependency based boot.

Thanks to fix it,

        Xav
