How can one ensure that a script is run ``at the end''? This
seems prime candidate for the much talked about dpkg hooks, but those
are not yet implemented.
It would be nice to be able to break processing into parts,
but short of a cron job or something, unless there is dpkg support
that I am unaware of, this is hard to do.
