[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#500916: Bug#500916: hal: FDI cache does not get updated when installing .fdi files from packages

Ah, indeed that sounds like a great idea, and much less blunt than
changing the init script (sorry for the kneejerk patch, had to do
something quick to unscrew the Ubuntu upgrade to 8.10 beta).

However, so far I thought that dpkg triggers are triggered by postinst
scripts. There are triggers for "any package installed/upgraded", too?
I'm not very familiar with triggers, apparently you know more than me.
:-)

Right, that makes perfect sense.

Thank you,

Martin
