This is a long solved problem.  ``Tools/updusbdevs -nogeneric``.

mlang at x1:~/Projects/BRLTTY/brltty$ Tools/updusbdevs -h
Usage: updusbdevs [-option ...] [scheme:file ...]
The following options may be specified:
-help       show this usage summary and then exit
-nogeneric  don't include generic USB to serial adapters
-quiet      decrease verbosity
-test       don't update the files
-verbose    increase verbosity

I am not arguing against splitting rules by default, just trying to
mention that running Tools/updusbdevs as part of the package build
process should also do the trick.
