Hi Michael asked me to send this here.

We talked the other day about the policy change regarding
plugdev/uaccess, and Michael said he did not believe it affected that
many packages.

I got curious and decided to try to figure out how many packages were
affected.  First I installed all packages with files in
/lib/udev/rules.d/:

  apt install $(apt-file search /lib/udev/rules.d/|cut -d: -f1|sort -u)

(I had to drop a few of them as they conflict with each other.)

Next, I extracted the list of packages mentioning plugdev but not
uaccess in their udev rules file using

  dd-list $(dpkg -S $(for f in $(grep -l plugdev /lib/udev/rules.d/*); do \
     if ! grep -q uaccess $f; then echo $f; fi; \
  done)|cut -d: -f1)

This resulted in a rather long list of packages and their maintainers.
There are some false positives (like gphoto), but based on a few random
checks this problem seem to affect the majority of the listed packages.

Is there now some policy document I can point these maintainers to, to
try to get the situation amended before Stretch is frozen?
