How do I even create these policy files?  Does the filename need to
start with a low number, say 20, or a high number, like 95?  What order
does it use these files?  All the policy files under
/usr/share/hal/dfi/policy are so very different so it is hard to figure
out what is needed. 

That spec file you linked gave me a 404 :(
