It's an issue that should definitely fixed before Debian 3.1 .

Nowadays, everyone in Debian stares at the RC bug count, but bugs of the
severity important or lower pretty often get ignored (since they don't
affect the magic RC bug count).

According to the latest "freeze starts next week" announcements of your
release managers a "hard freeze" of "base packages" (including makedev)
should start on "31 July" (later changed to "2 August 2004").

Unless Steve Langasek is a liar [1], the only way to get an updated
makedev into sarge today is "allowed through uploads to
testing-proposed-updates with hand-approval by the release team".
