Its just a convenience measure.
Say, if i just installed new package, i'd like to know if there any
preferences i can play with.

sure.
But this is more about integration with Pharo as a consistent dev
environment, which should show nice and friendly messages to user.
You can keep preferences package clean,
but make a separate one, like Pharo-Preferences-integration, where
this stuff will live.

I don't know if there's exists a system-wide event, like 'new package
just installed', then any who willing to hook into it could react on
such event.

Yes, this would be nice to group/filter preferences by package.
