I agree that it seems reasonable to expect it to run on package
installation or upgrade, sure!

It would be nice to avoid running it multiple times in a single apt run,
e.g. upgrading the kernel and/or initramfs-tools and u-boot-menu at the
same time... but it also is not hugely resource intensive to
occasionally run it multiple times if that is too complicated to
implement. That might end up causing any backup files to get
obliterated, though.
