I have these udev rules for an IDE-to-USB device:
It generates the symlinks /dev/hotswap-bay1, /dev/hotswap-bay2, etc. when the device is detected. You may wish to forgo the symlinks and just make the device itself named that instead of whatever the kernel gives it, i.e. %k.
Note that debian probably keeps its local rules in a slightly different filename, though it does apparently have /etc/udev/rules.d
This page from the debian wiki shows you how to obtain the parameters to identify the device with.
