Other applications are for "update-menus" and for things like "texhash",
which really only need to be run once after a complete apt-get
dist-upgrade (or maybe not at all if none of the applicable packages
got upgraded). Running a bunch of scripts after every single postinst
would seem pretty hideous for an upgrade between stable releases.
