There are a way to fix this by adding code to
Compile/InstallPackage/SymlinkProgram to run these functions if some
file exists. Much like I did for update-mime-database.
Another approach is to add an API to the tools to be called from hooks
in Recipes/PostInstall, e.g. Update_MIME_Database(), so the
contributer/packager are responsible for calling the functions, if
needed.

First is better because it's completly automated, so the contributer
wouldn't have to remember to call the function if needed. But fully
automated *may* be errorprone.

PS this is the solution for the gconf problem as well - add a function
that updates the global gconf file.
