As I use cowbuilder, my quick fix for this (and which works perfectly) was :
$ chmod 666 /var/cache/pbuilder/etch-amd64.cow/dev/null

I assume that modifying the base tgz for pbuilder would not achieve
the same thing, as mknod would be run after extraction, would it?

Anyway this was a better compromise for me than giving MKNOD
capabilities inside the vserver guest.
