[aur-requests] [PRQ#27183] Deletion Request for nextcloud-upgrade-hook
aminvakil [1] filed a deletion request for nextcloud-upgrade-hook [2]: A package which only does occ maintenance:update:htaccess, (occ upgrade can be done using /usr/share/doc/nextcloud/nextcloud.hook) should not be called nextcloud-upgrade-hook.

Request #27183 has been rejected by ainola [1]: I am going to reject the deletion request. I personally do not agree to having a package merely add a hook: I'd say it violates the [rules of submission](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Rules_of_submissi...):
Make sure the package you want to upload is useful. Will anyone else want to use this package? Is it extremely specialized? If more than a few people would find this package useful, it is appropriate for submission.
However, a cursory search of the AUR shows a *lot* of packages doing just that. A number of them have lots of votes, even. I can see this package being as useful as e.g. the systemd-boot upgrade hook. Therefore, I believe this debate demands a discussion on defining whether a package only providing a hook is acceptable in the AUR. As there is precedent set, this belongs here.
