Have a look at README.Customize.

You can do anything you'd lke to for yourself. I certainly don't try to stop 
users from doing such a thing. If you follow the advice in README.Customize to 
place your changes in /etc/xdg/brltty/, and also to have your file include the 
one that comes with brltty, then you won't even lose them when upgrading 
brltty.

There's nothing in the preferences. Just place your changes in 
/etc/xdg/brltty/.

Of course, if your changes are a generally good idea, then maybe we should be 
picking them up.
