Package: uhubctl
Version: 2.6.0-3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Please consider shipping the udev/rules.d file available in the source
in some form in the binary package.

The udev rules shipped in the source changes the permission from
root-only to also allow dialout group to control usb hubs.
This is very convenient from a user point of view, but possibly
might not fit the use-case of every debian installation that installs
the uhubctl package.

I thus request that you consider either ship the udev rules file as
provided in the sources as:
1/ an example, in /usr/share/doc/uhubctl/examples/, via
dh_installexamples.
2/ in the proper udev rules location (/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/).

Either of these two options would be more convenient for the end users
(even if as in option 1 that they'll have to copy the example in place
manually) than not having the rules file easily available.


PS. personally I would have picked another group than dialout, possibly
plugdev, but diverging from upstream and available internet wisdom in
various guides might be confusing for end users.
