According to the news announcement, today is the day we can start using hooks! (as long as you live in the future like me - those of you in the past will need to catch up a day). I have started a wiki page to discuss which hooks to add [1]. So far this includes "update-desktop-database", "update-mime-database", and "info-install" hooks to be added. I also included a list of potential other hooks. I have no idea about these or how to create hooks for them, so it is up to other people. I'd like to get as many hooks as possible into our packages in one go and then create rebuild lists for them. This way, if a package can benefit from multiple hooks, it will only need rebuilt once. Please take a look at that page and add any hook that you think will be useful to your packages. I will dump the first three into packages in the next couple of days and make rebuild lists. These will not got to [staging]/[testing] as there is no harm having the hook do some duplicated effort until all the packages are rebuilt.
