Please find v2 attached below, fixing my oversight of forgetting to
substitute in the correct paths for chgrp and chmod.

Subject: [PATCH v2] gnu: Install udev rules for light to allow sudo-less
invocations.
* gnu/packages/linux.scm (light): Substitute out the absolute paths of chgrp
and chmod in 90-backlight.rules, and install the rules file to the special
lib/udev/rules.d/ directory of the out output. This allows for any member of
the video group to set brightness using light without using sudo.

The patch works fine for me after adding light to udev-service-type in
my system configuration, as suggested in the manual, like so:
(simple-service 'light-udev-rules udev-service-type (list light))
