hi Andrew,

usually you can install them, if they don't overlap with something else...

in this case and considered also that libindi is part of Slackware since
this iteration of current (so it will be in the next stable release), IMHO,
you could let the SlackBuild install them and then, still in the
SlackBuild, move them away in the /usr/doc/firecapture-$VERSION directory,
adding a note in the README that one has to manually copy the udev rule for
his own hardware in the /etc/udev/rules.d directory.
