Bug Description
=======
SRU Justification:
1. Impact: container updates can fail as a result of failed mknods
2. Development fix: allow mknod in containers for all devices (but continue restricting use)
3. Stable fix: same as development fix
4. Test case: In a container, do 'mknod /tmp/ppp c 108 0'
5. Regression potential: a typo in the template update could break container creations. However the fix itself will not break containers. Security should not be impacted as the container will not be able to use the devices it creates.
=======
You will find when running “apt-get upgrade” (if you have Lucid updates enabled in /etc/apt/
mknod: `/lib/udev/
