Which packages create/use this group?
The scanner group is created by libsane. Maybe the udev rule should be added by this package as well ?
I also have a question : where can I find any documentation on the SYSFS{type} node ? How is the number assigned ? Does "5" always corresponds to cdrom ? "6" to scanner ?
I also looked for "addgroup" in other dpkg install scripts, and there are several of them. Maybe this could help finding other userful udev rules for specific usages ?
