This is a good idea, thanks for doing it. However it currently breaks
libgphoto2 and libmtp whom we need to track down and get them to update
their fdi file generation scripts. So for now I've added this patch

http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal.git;a=commitdiff;h=9fc161488795bcd259ea499bb28c04383be3a51b

It sucks, maybe we can revert it in the future when these projects have
updated.
