IPS has a built-in group (and user) action, see pkg(5)

True, of course, but that is a procedural accident. It would be
shortsighted for any new integration to use custom package scripts
which we already know will break as soon as the package shows up in
IPS, so nobody should be doing that.

(But as above, group action already exists so no issue on that front.)
