Luckily, /dev is regenerated by "udevadm trigger" or a reboot. This
happens if for some reason unmount /dev fails, after which vmbuilder
tries to clean up after itself by removing the entire chroot directory
(including the bind mounted /dev). I'll take a look at this shortly.

I would like the full debug log, if possible.
