A more user-friendly option would be to include all such quirks in the
installer by default, but only copy those that actually "fire" to the
installed system.
In both cases this would of course only solve the problem for devices that
are connected during installation, not in cases where the user first
connects the device after the system has been installed.
For that the quirks would have to be included in the regular udev package.
Maybe if some smart grouping is done that allows most rules to be quickly
skipped it would not be too bad to have it there.
