Since the package is provided on you distro, you can install it and then
search for `allowed_options' in /etc/udevil/udevil.conf (or somewhere
like that; distros sometimes modify installation paths).  I think the
default policy is already reasonable; you can still fine-tune it if
necessary, since the mechanism is quite flexible.
