apt-get install fuse - MAKEDEV not installed, skipping device node creation

This happened with command apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade to debian jessie, after which I've tried to remove fuse, and install it again. Same error:

There's ticket raised, and their fix doesn't give any result:
root@msgapp:/dev# cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV fuse
