i'm not a maintainer but...

deb-triggers(6), /usr/share/doc/dpkg-dev/triggers.txt.gz

if I remember correctly

	T the trigger pkg with do_triggers() awaits I and
	  it's code deals with misorder in I pkgs "if it needs to"

	I the interested pkg has no idea which other pkgs may be in I without
	  having checked (i didn't say checking was easy, nope)

of course if Ctrl-C gets hit that's another dimension :)  there is real system state / what is 
logged in drive too.

just trying to help,  John
