Generally the rule setting permissions on fd0 is in 50-udev.rules, which
can be edited to taste, or you can copy the appropriate rule to
10-local.rules and make the change there.  This does seem odd, unless
there's supposed to be some other mechanism in place to change the
permissions dynamically when a floppy is inserted.  I'm only running
udev-115-r1 which doesn't have this problem.
