The ipheth-dkms package will disappear because ipheth has been accepted
upstream and the kernel team added it to our 2.6.32 packages.

So there's only ipheth-utils left, containing the udev rules and the
pairing utility. If a pairing utility is also distributed as part of
libimobiledevice, we're left with just the udev rules, and at that point
it's just sane to ask ourselves where the udev rules belong.

I think it's going to end up in libimobiledevice-utils at that point,
unless there's a compelling reason not to do that. A package for a
single very small file is a big no-no.
