It's been pretty common since forever for various scriptlets to redirect output of stderr/stdout to /dev/null, so I think it'd be a bit of an ugly mess if there was a mandatory packaging rule you couldn't use at least /dev/null I hope post scripts wont have to test for /dev/null and create a device node for it if it isn't present, before redirecting to it. ;o) - -- Mike A.
