Hi Stefan,

it took me a while to reply to your original message, because I didn’t
know what hwdb was supposed to mean.  The code snippet in this mail made
it clearer to me.

No, you would need to rebuild with your eudev as a replacement.  But
let’s take a step back: is it possible to provide this hwdb with the
udev-service?  If not, perhaps we should augment the udev-service to not
only accept udev rules, but also custom hwdb files.
