Both hacks are rather old but I have no idea if the ATTR vs ATTRS thingy might somehow be still useful - I guess that is meanwhile totally outdated - but I cannot make a decision here so someone who knows about udev would have to make the decision here.

According to what I read at https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/merge_requests/509 and https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/merge_requests/510 plus https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/issues/341 it seems those two of our sed hacks are no longer needed because what they did is now already done at upstream so those two sed hacks don't do anything. Is my understanding right?

I submitted both changes upstream so we can drop our workarounds. Both are no longer needed.

The Perfection1640 sed script actually adds the same rule a second time, though luckily it is idempotent.

Thank you for your confirmation.
