Yes. Distributions are not supposed to install by default
the very-generic-udev-rules files, so as to avoid disturbing
generic usb/serial cards. But they should indeed install the
braille-specific-udev-rules files by default, so that blind users can
use them without having to ask somebody to configure anything.
