Turns out the plugdev group mentioned in the rules is nonstandard and
probably won't work anywhere except Debian.

Thanks. Could you add a comment to the udev file that it only works on
Debian and/or rename it to z60_flashrom_debian.rules?

Should we commit this to the main flashrom directory or to a new
directory tools/ or maybe scripts/ or helpers/?
I think tools/ is preferable, but I won't object to other solutions.

What do others think? We're starting a directory hierarchy here and
moving stuff around a few times is bad, so I'd like to get the location
finalized in a way that allows sensible future extension.

Side note: If we pick tools/, we can also place the MAC adjustment
scripts and some image extraction scripts there.

Once we have a decision on the final location of this script, this is
