Yes, more or less this way, but i would prefer if we have a common
script which adds or removes such entries, so that plugins just have
to call one common command in postins/postrm, maybe in the form:

/path/to/script register vdr-plugin-xyz plugdev

and

/path/to/script unregister vdr-plugin-xyz plugdev

The script itself would then add or remove vdr from the specified group
if necessary.

Well, it would be only one step if the user would call maybe

/path/to/script register vdr groupname

What do you think about this?
