Is it possible to simply get the usbhid-ups driver so I can replace 
newhidups without replacing the nut 2.0.5 version I have installed? The 
hotplug-ng scripts I was referred to from v2.0.5 (I originally installed 
the Debian package version, then grabbed a tarball and expanded it so I 
could find the scripts) appear to call for the usbhid-ups drivers.
