Users are informed via the manpages. I've added a feedback-themes
manpage upstream so apropos and other tools make it easier to find.

Thanks for proposing changes but I'd rather not duplicate documentation
as I don't want to maintain it in different places. There's nothing
Debian specific here so it should be part of the upstream docs and
trickle into Debian.

If you find anything missing please propose an MR there but note

Just as a remark:

There's neither a need to kill feedbackd as it can reload it's config on
SIGHUP nor do you need to restart apps.
