I agree with the above, but I think that it should be generalized.
There are postinstall tasks that should be one-shot (i.e., as currently
implemented in setup) and ones that should be executed every time (e.g.,
regenerating the info dir files). The question is how to best integrate
the support of both one-shot and every time postinstall scripts into DJ's
setup?
Thanks,
Jason
