packaging: udev rules should be in /lib/udev/rules.d

Asked by Olivier Mengué

The udev rules installed by hplip 3.9.8-1ubuntu2 are installed in /etc/udev/rules.d:
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 792 2009-12-11 13:57 86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_1000.rules
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 722 2009-12-11 13:57 86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_1005_series.rules
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 722 2009-12-11 13:57 86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_1018.rules
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 722 2009-12-11 13:57 86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_1020.rules
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 726 2009-12-11 13:57 86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_p1005.rules
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 726 2009-12-11 13:57 86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_p1006.rules
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 726 2009-12-11 13:57 86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_p1007.rules
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 726 2009-12-11 13:57 86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_p1008.rules
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 726 2009-12-11 13:57 86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_p1505.rules

According to /lib/udev/rules.d, /lib should be the right place for static rules installed by a package instead of /etc.
Also the rules are not recorded in dpkg.
