I've already proposed something similar in debian-policy :
http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-policy-9811/msg00091.html
The only problem that is difficult to solve is the backward
compatibility of {pre,post}inst script. They should run on systems that do
not have dcfg* utilities. Of course, we could make package depend on
dcfg but I don't see the need of adding a dependence to hundreds
of packages...
I also proposed the presence of a pre-configure script in
order to fill in the database before the installation.
Happy new year !
