A way of doing both would be to add a simple database, which maps an
"event" to a script to be run. Possible events could be "dpkg run",
or "postinst of <package name glob>". It'd seem like a more flexible
infrastructure than having 8 directories to run-parts over for every
package that's changed, at least. (iirc, run-parts is also pretty horrible
at passing information to and from the scripts)
