Would it be possible to have a postinstall script for one of the new
packages that includes the awkward fixups? That way automatic fixup is
possible if you just reinstall the appropriate package, which seems
simple to support?

(But. I'm not at the receiving end and will have no problem following
the given recipe, I'm just throwing out an idea)
