There is no single configuration that applies to every machine, so the
config files are not installed by default.

There have been several bugs filed on the NUT Debian packages in the
past regarding config files and upgrading.

newhidups does not use /dev/usb/hiddev*.

You can get this to work by adding this to
/etc/udev/rules.d/025_nut-usbups.rules:

SYSFS{idVendor}=="050d", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0910", MODE="664", GROUP="nut"

and unplugging and replugging the UPS's USB cable.
