[PATCH] $local user

We once implemented the devfsd feature to set the owner of a device node
to the "local" user. This was before we had the dev.d/ scripts. We discussed
a similar issue with D-BUS recently and this should be better handled depending
on the distributions way to do such a thing.

I'm for removing this here as this can be easily covered by a dev.d/
script.

Here is the patch if nobody objects :)
