I cannot discuss bugs I do not know about, somebody talked about using
udevtrigger for this on some channel and I explained how it would be
wrong. I did not understand that it had actually been proposed to you
as a bug fix.
I am available on IRC about 15 hours every day if you want to talk about
issues related to my packages, which you should do since you do not
appear to be familiar with it.

Actually I explained that it is not correct to synthesize all events
multiple times at boot time, because it is wasteful and may confuse
other programs.
But still, even if a binary is documented it does not mean that it
should be used by other packages disregarding the consequences on the
rest of the system...

*If* you really have to synthesize some events at boot time (which is
not obvious, since AFAIK this has never been correctly supported until
it was fixed in recent kernels as the udev upstream maintainer explained
to you in january) then you must do it only for the md* events by
manually poking the uevent files:

for device in /sys/block/md[0-9]*/; do echo add > $device/uevent; done
