- debian/brltty.udev.rules
- debian/rules
+ disable brltty.service by default, but enable it if the user configures
Braille at install time for a non-USB display
- debian/31brltty
- debian/rules
+ don't install /etc/brltty.conf in the package
- debian/31brltty
* Include further updates to brltty.udev.rules from brltty-udeb.udev.rules
that were omitted in the previous release cycle due to timing.
- devices with FTDI and Silicon Laboratories as a manufacturer remain
disabled as these do not uniquely identify accessibility devices.
* Re-enable udev rules for devices from Hedo Reha Technik GmbH, which is
a maker of accessibility devices and therefore not a false positive
* Move debian/brltty.udev.rules to a patch debian/brltty.udev.rules.patch
against debian/brltty-udeb.udev.rules to be applied at build time and
hard fail on any inconsistencies, to avoid future issues with missing
updates to the Ubuntu-specific file

screen drivers.
