adding devices to udev blacklist

Hi,

Sorry if this is a totally noob question, but I'm wondering what the 
process is to get something permanently added to the udev rules?

The background to this question is that I'm a contributor to a number of 
FOSS hardware projects that use USB CDC as their main interface, and I'd 
like to add them to the modem manager blacklist as they are not modems, 
and the manager interferes with their proper operation.

For example, one of the projects is the proxmark3:

   https://code.google.com/p/proxmark3/wiki/HomePage?tm=6

in the installation instructions, we tell users to add:

   # proxmark3 - http://www.proxmark.org/
   ATTRS{idVendor}=="2d2d" ATTRS{idProduct}=="504d", 
ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"

to the file:

   /lib/udev/rules.d/77-mm-usb-device-blacklist.rules

but of course this may get clobbered by an update.

cheers,
Adam
