The problem with this solution is that you aren't actually installing the
files on a real partition, so they will all vanish when you next reboot -
which is why the pre-script stops you installing dev in the first place.

So the real solution is to ignore the reports that dev is out of date
until the dev versus udev situation is finalized. If you appear to be
missing files in /dev, have a look at how udev manages such files.
