I think the target directory for the udev files should be in /etc/udev/rules.d.

There is some discussion online about which is the right place to add user rules, and I could find no consensus, but /etc/udev/rules.d seems to be preferred over /usr/lib/udev/rules.d.

Also oversteer itself tries to copy the rules files to /etc/udev/rules.d.

self.target_dir = '/etc/udev/rules.d/'

So I think this is the directory that should be mentioned in the readme.

As a sidenote, on an Fedora Atomic Desktop I'm not even able to write to the /usr/lib/udev.
