For "nevow",  both triggers  are here to  rebuild the plugin  cache. The
plugin system  is critical since  most daemons written with  nevow needs
use the plugin system to  start themselves. However, the plugin cache is
not  so important.  If it  is  not updated,  the only  drawback is  some
warning message if the daemon  is started as non-root user. Therefore, I
think the package can be considered as configured without the triggers.
