Other applications are for "update-menus" and for things like "texhash", which really only need to be run once after a complete apt-get dist-upgrade (or maybe not at all if none of the applicable packages got upgraded). Running a bunch of scripts after every single postinst would seem pretty hideous for an upgrade between stable releases.
