handling udev for primesense-kinect-sensor

I was just looking at the udev stuff in primesense-kinect-sensor.  It
seems to me that we should probably ignore their 55-primesense-usb.rules
file and do it the proper Debian way.  Nobuhiro, I see you are a
maintainer on bluez, which installs udev rules.  Do you think you could
set up the proper Debian style udev handling in
primesense-kinect-sensor?  I've never packaged udev stuff before.  But
basically, there .rules file is simple, uses deprecated contructs, and
has the user set as 'xxx', and the perms set as 666.  So there isn't
much there to build on, it seems it should just be replaced.

I guess the proper way to do this is to have a standard group that is
used to give permissions to read/write to the sensor device, then use
that.

You can find the upstream file in the source here:
Platform/Linux-x86/Install/55-primesense-usb.rules
