Isn't brltty a service that is run on boot via the symlink in
/etc/rcS.d/ to /etc/init.d/?

Note: 09:19 was my system boot time & file access time.

/etc/rcS.d/README:
====
The scripts in this directory whose names begin with an 'S' are
executed once when booting the system, even when booting directly into
single user mode.

The scripts are all symbolic links whose targets are located in
/etc/init.d/ .

To disable a script in this directory, rename it so that it begins
with a 'K' and run 'update-rc.d script defaults' to update the order
using the script dependencies.

For more information see /etc/init.d/README.
