Alternatively, put the script in udev and the rules file (and the keywords
list) in dvb-utils.

Attached. I'm assuming that the script is in udev, named
/etc/udev/inputdev.sh, and takes a second parameter instead of an
internally-defined KEYWORDS variable.

(Also attached is a scan file for my local transmitter. I vaguely recall
finding it on one of the linuxtv mailing lists...)

Definitely not if the script is in dvb-utils. Otherwise I'd say so if it uses
a script in some newer udev.

Probably not. OTOH, udev in sarge defaults to root-only access to
/dev/input/event*...

Never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
