Please don't do this by hand. The correct way to do this in a
maintainer script should be by calling:
udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=misc --action=change
See xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse, udisks2 for examples of this.
Rejecting this SRU for now. If there's some reason 'udevadm trigger'
can't be used here, we can un-reject the previous upload; otherwise,
please reupload using udevadm.
