How would you know the trigger needs to be run then? If you remove the call from all the packages, you will then have to call the trigger everytime dpkg is run, no matter if you only install one package that doesn't need those triggers. So AFAIUI, your package needs to call those, and then dpkg will not call those for every package, but do one call at the end if it supports triggers. Cheers, Emilio
