Good advice. I'll save some time, though, by letting y'all (my favourite
americn word) know that only brltty.conf is installed under /etc/. Systemd and
udev files are installed under /lib/.

The udev files are:

   /lib/udev/rules.d/70-brltty-device.rules
   /lib/udev/rules.d/70-brltty-uinput.rules

The systemd files are:

   /lib/systemd/system/brltty.path
   /lib/systemd/system/brltty at .path
   /lib/systemd/system/brltty at .service
   /lib/systemd/system/brltty-device at .service
   /lib/sysusers.d/brltty.conf
   /lib/tempfils.d/brltty.conf

Note that the last two have nothing to do with the brltty.conf that's in /etc/.

And then there are the two Polkit files. They're in /usr/share/polkit-1/, and
they're names are:

   actions/org.a11y.brlapi.policy
   rules.d/org.a11y.brlapi.rules

i'll finish by reiterating that I shouldn't have to be doing this. I don't mind
sharing information, but I do think it's just plain wrong for any distribution
to not use provider-supplied tools and insist on reinventing its own wheel each
and every time that a provider finds it necessary to make changes to these
things. All that approach will ever yield is a constant legacy of broken
packags. Not that it matters, but I, for one, am very unimpressed.
