Added the extra two rules.
The reason for the rules policy is that otherwise udev needs to make
every single custom group; you are wrong in that they are ignored, udev
will still lookup the group which can cause regressions on LDAP systems,
for example.
Our preferred solution in Ubuntu is for programs accessing these devices
to do it through HAL, which gives us a much better managed access to
them; in the next Ubuntu release we'll be dropping much of the custom
groups in favour of user ACLs on the devices.
You quoted the README.Debian for the Debian udev package. Ubuntu and
Debian have a vastly different udev package and maintenance policy,
which is understandable given that in Ubuntu udev is mandatory and so
are HAL, D-BUS, etc.
** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Wishlist
Status: Incomplete => Fix Committed
