Package: solaar
Severity: important

Hi,

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/solaar/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/patches/udev-plugdev.patch?ref_type=heads

adds the following line to a udev rule

PROGRAM="/usr/bin/debconf-show solaar", RESULT=="*use_plugdev_group: false*", 
GOTO="solaar_end" MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"

This is not a good idea, for various reasons:

1. debconf is no registry / configuration database
2. udev can't rely on /var (during early boot)
3. udev rules must not run potentially blocking programs


Regards,
Michael
