It works like that? If it does that would be definitely a nice way to
handle the stuff. Spells providing rules should probably ask about them
though, as the user might not want them. Or the user could override them
in his own rules file. How does directory based udev rules handling
work? I read about it on the udev list but don't remember the details.
