Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20120909
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/dh_installudev
Usertags: debian-packaging
Hi there!
When a package installs udev rules, these not automatically applied if
the device is built-in (like fingerprint readers), since it is never
plugged in (obviously, except if the computer is rebooted). Thus
package.postinst must call `udevadm trigger` according to the udev's
maintainer's explanation at:
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=683863#27>
While `udevadm trigger` could be called without options, IMHO it is
preferable to limit its call(s) for the device(s) the package supports.
In some cases, the number of the devices can be quite a lot (e.g.
libfprint0 supports 17 of them), thus having an automatic way to
generate these calls from the udev rules would be preferable.
I would be glad to provide a patch, but I am a bit busy ATM.
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
