There is no real way to know how groups are managed and which exist etc ... since it's pretty much distro specific. (for eg under gentoo I don't even use that udev rules because I'm in a group allowing USB peripheral access ...) So having a wide and optional rule in the raw source package and let the packager make it fit to their model seems like a good way to do it for me. Cheers, Sylain
