Create /dev/ptmx like debootstrap does (Closes: #911334)
When using piuparts on a chroot without /dev/ptmx [noptmx],
scripts/pre_remove_50_find_bad_permissions fails with:
ERROR: BAD PERMISSIONS
crw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 5, 2 Oct 16 03:49 /dev/ptmx
In this case, piuparts does something like this:
touch /dev/ptmx # if not exists
mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx # if dev/ptmx was not a symlink
The kernel doc [devpts.txt] recommends instead:
mknod /dev/ptmx c 5 2
And this is what debootstrap does [debootstrap].
After this change, piuparts will do:
mknod /dev/ptmx c 5 2 # if not exists
mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx # if dev/ptmx was not a symlink
The behavior of piuparts called after debootstrap will not change.
The only behavior changing is when dev/ptmx doesn't exist at all.
[noptmx]: This is the case when chroot comes from the debian:unstable Docker image
