Surely this is an issue for the irda package not the devfsd package?  I am 
resisting adding such things for the Debian package, I want the maintainers 
of the packages to do it for two reasons.  Firstly it prevents the 
requirement for an update of devfsd every time these packages change.  
Secondly there could potentially be a situation where two different versions 
of the package require two different configurations for these things.  Having 
it in the package allows the package maintainer to easily resolve such issues.
