There's a script in the top-level directory named updusbdevs. If you run it 
with its -nogeneric option then it'll update the various files without 
including the generic devices. Also, you can tell it which files to update. So 
you could do something like this:

   cd /path/to/brltty
   cp Autostart/Udev/udev.rules /tmp/udev.rules
   ./updusbdevs -quiet -nogeneric udev:/tmp/udev.rules
