  • Bug#265987: udev: legousbtower permissions too strict

    Since this is a device that shouldn't need any special permissions,
    either the group or mode should be changed (most likely a lego group
    should be created so device-specific access control exists)
    Please explain. Does it need access control or not? How do other
    packages currently use/create the device?
