From everything I've read on configuration of udev, we're the single
distribution that does not do it that way. All documentation I've found
on modifying udev for certain devices all say,
'edit /etc/udev/udev.d/#-<device>' We're the ones with the odd
arangement that I'm suprised does work rather than the other way around.
