Bug#1115830: steam-devices: systemd258 requires udev changes for the steam controller to work

Package: steam-devices
Version: 1:1.0.0.84~ds-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer, steam controller and probably all other controllers handled by
this package aren't working any more since sytemd258.
It seems systemd requires some changes in the udev rules:

        * ACLs for device nodes requested by "uaccess" udev tag are now always
          applied/updated by systemd-udevd through "uaccess" udev builtin, and
          systemd-logind no longer applies/updates ACLs but triggers "change"
          uevents to make systemd-udevd apply/update ACLs. Hence, the "uaccess"
          udev tag should be set not only on "add" action but also on "change"
          action, and it is highly recommended that the rule is applied all
          actions except for "remove" action.
          Recommended example:
              ACTION!="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", TAG+="uaccess"
          The following example does not work since v258:
              ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", TAG+="uaccess"

A user made a pull request with the changes needed upstream:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-devices/pull/67

Until this is fixed a workaround is to modprobe uinput. Then The steam
controller is working again.

Regards
Axel
