Check out the zope package and some of it modules. They use
the Post-Invoke mechanism. Each zope package asks when zope shall
be restarted. If you say 'at the end' it will touch
/var/run/zope.restart only.
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90zope will be run after installing all
packages, checks for /var/run/zope.restart and restarts zope
if the file is available.
