Havn't seen this before but I think we should rather be looking at
what I think is the final version of the specification [1] but the
discussion following the original draft is probably helpful also.
On quick looking over this looks right up our alley. A triggers file
for us then would be something like
interest /usr/share/octave/3.0.1/m
and the postinst would read
if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
pkg ('rebuild')
fi
right?
