I don't think a user will dare to reflash his braille device. Those cost
thousands of dollars and are typically the only way their owners would
be able to use a computer.

Well, that is *already* what is supposed to happen.  I'm not aware of
any other way brltty would end up being installed on a Debian system
without the user explicitly requesting it.

that).
