Hello,
One paragraph, two questions in dpkg-trigger:
This can be used by maintainer scripts in complex and conditional
situations where the file triggers, or the declarative B<activate> triggers
control file directive, are insufficiently rich. It can also be used for
testing and by system administrators (but note that the triggers won't actually
be run by dpkg-trigger)."

a) What are "conditional situations"?
b) What does "declarative" in "declarative B<activate> triggers
   control file directive" mean?

Thanks for clarification,

Greetings

        Helge
