You were pretty explicit...except it's also pretty obviously the wrong path to take.

You might want to re-think your delivery mechanism, and put the script onto a share that you could then access. If it requires something like Perl in order to run, you'd want to be sure that it's also available via some share. UNC nomenclature is a good thing to be familiar with...

USB keys...and U3-type of autoexecs, are fairly suspect in many environments. I've seen offices physically disable USB ports (such as with a quick screwdriver twist...) just as a safeguard against the prospect that folks might try to adopt your approach...benevolent intent or not.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

dh_installudev

DH_INSTALLUDEV(1)						     Debhelper							 DH_INSTALLUDEV(1)

NAME

       dh_installudev - install udev rules files

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installudev [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--name=name] [--priority=priority]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installudev is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing udev rules files.

       Code is added to the preinst and postinst to handle the upgrade from the old udev rules file location.

FILES

       debian/package.udev
	   Installed into lib/udev/rules.d/ in the package build directory.

OPTIONS

       --name=name
	   When this parameter is used, dh_installudev looks for and installs files named debian/package.name.udev instead of the usual
	   debian/package.udev.

       --priority=priority
	   Sets the priority string of the rules.d symlink. Default is 60.

       -n, --noscripts
	   Do not modify preinst/postinst scripts.

NOTES

       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
       instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
