Bug Description
The Steam Controller is about to roll out; for the Steam Controller to be supported properly by the Steam Client, it needs to be able to read and write to HID device nodes that have the Valve USB vendor ID. In our own Steam package 'steam-launcher' [1], this is achieved by a udev rule [2] matching our vendor ID. There doesn't seem to be such a udev rule in the Ubuntu-provided package, meaning Ubuntu users will not be able to use the Steam Controller out of the box.

The rule should probably go in the systemd package, adding systemd to bug.
