Look at the sane package. The general idea is to generate rules like:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", \
 ATTRS{idProduct}=="2303", ATTRS{idVendor}=="067b", GROUP="chipcard"

for devices accessed using libusb and like:

KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", \
 ATTRS{idProduct}=="2303", ATTRS{idVendor}=="067b", GROUP="chipcard"

for serial devices.

(Old versions of udev used SYSFS in place of ATTRS.)


The udev maintainer is usually happy to help designing udev support for
packages and to review the changes needed.
