Have you tried "man apt.conf":
Pre-Install-Pkgs
This is a list of shell commands to run before invoking
dpkg. Like options this must be specified in list notation. The
commands are invoked in order using /bin/sh, should any
fail APT will abort. APT will pass to the commands on standard
input the filenames of all .deb files it is going to
install, one per line.
