Not going to happen, because:
- I consider my rules much more readable and elegant than yours
- anyway there are differences in the permissions (e.g. uucp vs. dialout)
- the default rules are unusable for Debian since we need to support
  older kernels (currently and until Xen dom0 will be supported by new
  kernels or obsoleted by KVM, >= 2.6.18)

You should formalize what "a proper rules setup" is, not make other
packages depend on the undocumented behaviour of a default configuration.
