I hope I'm not mis-stating Frans's position when I say that Frans
believes dpkg triggers are the best way to install dependency-based
initscripts[0]. Otherwise the installer unnecessarily and repetitively
globally recalculates initscript dependencies for each package installed.
I expect dpkg triggers would also be valuable for things like mktexlsr
runs when working with texlive.
