That's normal. They are only real devices within the fakeroot instance
used during the build. They are only normal files on disk (fakeroot is
playing tricks). Outside of fakeroot you see the regular files.

You should not need to do that.

What output image format are you using? (ext2fs etc)? Please post the
output of the final stages of make, where the fakeroot script is
generated and the image creation tool is run.
