OK, thanks again

"/etc/udev/$PACKAGE.rules" was in the wrong directory, the correct one
is and should be in "/etc/udev/rules.d/45-$PACKAGE.rules" that's why
the files are moved.
But that's not it, since $PACKAGE is libmtp8 actually:
package=lib...@soversion@
I'll check the code more tonight, but consider this:
Looks like libmtp5 is not using libmtp5.rules:
> rangda[/home/sean] dpkg -S /etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp.rules [2]
> :(
> libmtp5: /etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp.rules
..which points to /etc/udev/libmtp.rules:

..which is removed by debian/libmtp.postinst.in:
rm -f /etc/udev/libmtp.rules
I think that it's correct, but leaves a dangling symlink.
Also, I think it needs to remove the symlink
"/etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp.rules" (non-versioned) too. We can do it
similarly to the one with the versioned symlink:
In debian/libmtp.postinst.in:
oldlink=/etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp8.rules
if [ -L $oldlink -a ! -f $oldlink ] ; then
rm -f $oldlink
fi
oldlink2=/etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp.rules
if [ -L $oldlink2 -a ! -f $oldlink2 ] ; then
rm -f $oldlink2
fi
