Being curious and learning I didn't have the udevinfo symlink, I
created it and ran it:

# ( cd /sbin ; ln -s udevadm udevinfo )
# udevinfo
the program '/bin/bash' called 'udevinfo', it should use 'udevadm info
<options>', this will stop working in a future release missing option

I understand this to mean that the symlinks are obsolete and are being
deleted by newer ebuilds.
