I have looked more closely to this issue. I do not know much of the internals of udev, but is seems that all the files in /etc/udev/rules.d/ are read when udev is initialized. It does not seem that different version of libmtp (say, libmtmp7 and libmtp8) will use different *.rules. This is beyond libmtp control and is in the realm of udev, it seems. That said, i am wondering why the libmtp.rules files should be versioned, as we are doing currently. Perhaps, the 45-libmpt8.rules files would work just fine with previous versions (5, 6, and 7) of the package. I think we must test this.
