Of course, package by itself can't do that (at least as far as _I_ know).
You'd have to check the return code from the package run, and fire off a
shell script to Do the Right Things if the files had changed.  I suppose
that the perl script wouldn't be _too_ hard to write, and lots of folks
would benefit from it...  

(I did sense an underlying message in your note, and agree, but thought I'd
point out the workaround for those folks who are newer to AFS than we are).
