It could, but then it should have a brltty.conf that specifies braille-device
bluetooth: so that it wno't grab USB devices. This is assuming, of course, that
the udev rules are active.

It wasn't working properly with systemd until the latest udev rules fix. The
stop action wasn't implemented correctly.
