Dear maintainer,

please add a dpkg trigger. Once a new auditd rules file is dropped into
/etc/audit/rules.d folder, run within the Debian maintainer script:

/sbin/augenrules --load || true

Cheers,
Patrick

I personally don't think that this is a good idea.

IMVHO, I don't think that any packages should add configurations
snippets for auditd due to the impact on privacy or performances of the
machine.

This should be reserved to the administrator.

Kind regards,
