There are apparently several usb burners with ID_TYPE=floppy though (two
in this bug report already), so I prefer to keep this one open for
xfburn, since I need to update our patch to add a workaround for burners
with ID_type=floppy.

I've cloned the bug report anyway, so you can follow up and provide any
info the udev maintainer may need.
Thanks!
