 What do you find complex?  The "hook system" in
 /usr/share/gnome-vfs-2.0/run-module-update-hooks is:
    set -e

    if [ -d /usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/module-update-hooks ]; then
        run-parts $@ /usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/module-update-hooks
    fi

 And calling the hook system from the 5 affected source packages -- all
 are pkg-gnome packages for which we are both uploaders BTW -- is as
 long as this postinst/postrm snippet:
    if [ -x /usr/share/gnome-vfs-2.0/run-module-update-hooks ]; then
        /usr/share/gnome-vfs-2.0/run-module-update-hooks
    fi
