No, I've posted snippets for users to customize in their own rc.local or distro equivalent.

Somebody else will have to tackle this. > Would maintainers be ok with adding such a udev rule and script to the package? Not my call, but keep in mind that this will add a dependency on smartmontools or whatever means is used to access/write to scterc.
