E.g., when one runs `apt-get upgrade`, if the kernel is upgraded,

Makes sense?

I don't think so. You do not want to modify files provided by a package.

Yeah, maybe it's better that the packagers run that script at packaging time, instead of apt-get at install time. But, the script would be a good thing, I think, independently of who runs it.


Cheers,

Alex
