Package: udev
Version: 150-2
Severity: wishlist
When udev rules are updated, a user might want to trigger udev to
process those rules. "udevadm trigger" seems to be the tool for the job,
but apparently the default --action=add can cause bad things to happen
and --action=change is a better idea for normal use.[1]
This should be documented, at least in the manpage and preferably also
in the "udevadm trigger --help" output. Ideally the default wouldn't be
"add" in the first place, but I doubt that can be easily changed now.

There is no normal use. If users do not understand how udev works they
have no business in writing new rules.
Running commands you do not understand as root is always a bad idea.
