Just make a standard init script for it with this dependency block
depend() {
before checkfs
}
That way it will be run immediately after /dev, /proc and /sys have been
brought up and the root fs checked. After that, brltty should launch.
However, that doesn't work for baselayout-1 as it forces more services
to start before hand, but should work as expected in newer versions.
