Correct.

>I'm awaiting your patch and will apply it as soon as I get it. 

I just committed the fix since I'm sure it'll work. I know ... famous last 
words! :-)

Yes, if you're using the latest systemd stuff. It's changed since 5.4, though 
the systemd README hasn't been updated yet. If you don't want to mess with the 
systemd files at this point then edit the installed brltty.service file and 
adjust the ExecStart= path.

Note that /usr/local isn't the default install location. If that's what you 
want then configure with --prefix=.

At the moment, brltty's make install doesn't do anything with those files.
