Comment 29 for bug 1498655

Yes, of course, but steam package implements just udev rules and new
icons, far as I know. If the official package implements the correct
udev rules then the rules from steam package become deprecated.

> 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.
