ALthough if we are going to create even more strata of postinstall phases I'd opt for some refactoring.I could make very good use of this for improving the texlive postinstall process.It's possible to do this with a perpetual script, assuming you use the actual postinstall scripts to create some trigger condition for the perpetual script to act upon, yes. I'm not sure if this is the best or even most easily implemented solution, though.
It might not be the best solution long term, but I could achieve substantial improvement without a great deal of effort. See
http://tug.org/pipermail/tlbuild/2014q4/003072.htmlfor an indication of what I'd like to do. The author of that message isn't aware of the issues involving the order of the postinstall scripts, but I could do everything he suggests if I had a perpetual "after" postinstall script.
