i believe scratch supplies rules because (at least at the time) it
could be installed on XO distributions that didn't include udev
rules at all.

and since the 'olpc' user is a member of group 'dialout', i think these
rules are equivalent in practice.  (except for use by 'other',
and i'm not sure how that would happen on an XO.)   both rules
give the olpc user read/write access to the device.

are you seeing a conflict or other problem?
