Triggers need to be coordinated among packages and we currently don't
have an infrastructure for that. And implementing just a single trigger
for info files is special-casing this thing too much.

I'm talking about doing it with a perpetual postinstall script.

Again, I don't see why updating the info dir should be so special, it
can be done in postinstall without getting special-cased in setup:
