OK, I see.
So I propose to add a note to README.Debian or to postinst (similar to rt4)
whatever you prefer.

One of the rt-authen-externalauth maintainer said: "Whatever is serving and
running RT needs to be restarted when the RT libraries and/or Mason files are
updated."
He pointed out that "configuration options like $DevelMode can make restarting
unnecessary (but only sometimes!)".
I hope this helps.
