I see debian/rules: Do not install the udev rules, since hal now provides dynamic ACLs on device nodes. (See hardy-hardware-detection spec.) in the sane-backends changelog, which leads me to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/HardyHardwareDetection and Device ownership: Make removable USB devices (scanners, cameras, external hard disks, etc.) accessible to the user on the current foreground console instead of providing static udev rules and using group membership based access control. Then the current set of fine-tuned udev rules and large lists of autogenerated udev rules for model-based vendor/product ID matching can disappear entirely, and the access control will work for e. g. future scanners or cameras, too. and Drop the default system groups plugdev and scanner. Enable ConsoleKit support in hal, which assigns read/write permission to removable USB devices with dynamic ACLs. * As a followup to above, drop the long vendor/product ID based udev rules of libgphoto and libsane. Ensure that their preinsts remove the obsolete conffiles on upgrade. * Drop the default system groups netdev and powerdev, drop our in-house development libpam-foreground, drop the network-manager and gnome-power-manager patches to query libpam-foreground. Instead, do the "user is in foreground session" test with PolicyKit rules. so I think this is actually something that should be fixed in hal.
