Description of the change

Reload udev, which causes it to re-read /etc/passwd and /etc/groups and add the newly created "tss" user/groups. Otherwise you find this in syslog:

Jul 31 21:21:46 neptune udevd[409]: specified user 'tss' unknown
Jul 31 21:21:46 neptune udevd[409]: specified group 'tss' unknown
Jul 31 21:21:46 neptune TCSD TDDL[12097]: TrouSerS ERROR: Could not find a device to open!

and the initscript fails to start, resulting in a failure to install the package

This looks good and I've upload the change to quantal. I also found an issue with the prerm script that should be fixed in Precise too if you are preparing an SRU there - see bug 1038302.
