Well actually 40-usb-brltty.rules is how I name it in the
brltty package for Slint/Slackware.

In the source archive it's Autostart/Udev/udev.rules

I package it this way:
cat Autostart/Udev/udev.rules > $PKG/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb-brltty.rules
(sorry for the useless use of cat, I will correct that).

Maybe ask the Debian packager to just to install it?

I would be a bit surprised that it be not done yet though,
as Debian is known to support brltty since a long time.

I don't know if using systemd changes the way to handle
that.
Cheers,
Didier
