Or such applications depend on a libu2f-common package.

Is there any history regarding other udev

You mean like mtp (libmtp-common → /lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules),
gphotos (/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libgphoto2-6.rules), argyll
(/lib/udev/rules.d/55-Argyll.rules) or sane
(/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules), just to name a few?


You can try and convince systemd/udev upstream, to ship those rules. If
they agree to that, I have no objection. I object though to ship that as
a downstream patch.
