Are packages really expected to ship .rules files?  I don't think so:

"Authorization rules are intended for two specific audiences

     System Administrators

     Special-purpose Operating Systems / Environments

and those audiences only. In particular, applications, mechanisms and 
general-purpose operating systems must never include any authorization 
rules."
