ke-recv is responsible only for mounting devices. it listen to hal events. in fremantle was mounting usb devices disabled (no reason why). I created patch which enable this feature (and fixed some problems)... Why to not use daemon designed for maemo which can do that?

handling battery charging will be done in bq2415x_charger kernel driver, onece I will write it. it will use power_supply interface (so hal and udev will see it)

usb type detection is done in isp.._charger kernel driver (in upstream, not in 2.6.28) which use standard power_supply interface (and hal listen for events)...
I can try to backport it to kernel-power (and test if it is working...)
