Link in udev/rules.d

Bug Description

Binary package hint: kcontrol

There is a link in /etc/udev/rules.d: 025_logitechmouse.rules -> ../logitechmouse.rules
Yet the README file in the same directory says:

The udev daemon watches this directory with inotify so that changes to these files are automatically picked up, for this reason they must be files and not symlinks to another location as in the case in Debian.

Therefore, I expect a regular file in place of the symlink.

Ubuntu 7.10
kcontrol:
  Installed: 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu2.2

The attached debdiff fixes this issue by installing the file directly to /etc/udev/rules.d/ and not creating a link.

Harald, can you be a bit more verbose? What does KDE 3 and Intrepid have with this bug to do?

We can't fix this for Intrepid (or anything after Intrepid) since there is no KDE 3 anymore and the KDE 4 version doesn't seem to include this file at all.
