Changing the deb package database formats would probably be a bad idea.
Changing dpkg to have a system wide set of preinst postinst, and prerm
scripts (Perhaps in a directory run with run-parts) that would be called
at sensible times. It may even be accepted in the upstream sources,
however I think they have other things to worry about like releasing
debian 3.0.
How is this for an idea for what a darwin-5.2 psuedopackage might do.
Place a script in the global preinst script.d dir that does something
like this.
#!/bin/sh
VERSION=5.2
case $(uname -s) in
Darwin)
;;
*)
echo "Not a Darwin system" 1>&2
echo darwin$VERSION deinstall | dpkg --set-selections
exit 1
esac
instver=$(uname -r)
case $instver in
$VERSION)
;;
*)
echo "Darwin version has changed. Re-Run apt-get upgrade" 1>&2
echo darwin$VERSION deinstall | dpkg --set-selections
echo darwin$instver install | dpkg --set-selections
exit 1
esac
