Actually, an idea that may have merit is to implement hooks in
dpkg; {global,local}{pre,post}{inst,rm} hooks (per package and per
dpkg run), (global hooks apply to the whole site (all packages);
local hooks belong to the package in question).
Identifying other points at which a hook may be used can be an
interesting exercise.
The symlinks could be added to global, per package, post inst
and prerm hooks. The menu instructions can be added to the local,
post inst, per dpkg run hook.
And other nifty things could be done with the hooks as well ;-)
