There should be a way to specify that some arbitrary shell command(s) should be
run after an APT session during which dpkg was invoked. This could be used to
update the dlocate database when packages are changed, for example.
Taking this concept a little further, APT could search a directory full of
scripts (/etc/apt/postproc.d/ or some such) and run each one in order, and
packages (such as dlocate) could drop scripts into that directory to be run,
making the process of updating the dlocate database completely automatic and
transparent to the system administrator.

man 5 apt.conf:
Pre-Invoke
Post-Invoke
This is a list of shell commands to run before/after
invoking dpkg(8). Like Options this must be specified in
list notation. The commands are invoked in order using
/bin/sh, should any fail APT will abort.
