xenial mir builds recently started failing as follows:

  ERROR:src/umockdev.c:4991:umockdev_testbed_create_node_for_device: assertion failed: (Linux.openpty (out ptym, out ptys, ptyname_array, null, null) == 0)

I'm fairly sure that this is because the new livecd-rootfs-built xenial buildd images include makedev, which was Priority: required in xenial (but not in later releases) but not in the historical buildd chroots. The best approach is likely to be to just take makedev out again.
