Do you have an opinion about that?  I suggested /etc/texmf/postinstall

precedent we have so far is Achim's new _autorebase, which uses
/etc/rebase.

Even for this I think /etc is the wrong place and I'd consider moving it
elsewhere.  Something in /var on the other hand sounds OK to me.
LSB/FHS seems to suggest /var/lib for this purpose unless there is yet
another more specific requirement I didn't find while browsing it.

In view of https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2015-01/msg00034.html, I'll use /var/lib/texmf/postinstall for the postinstall markers. I'm attaching revised cygport patches.

I'm also attaching, for reference, the corresponding revised perpetual postinstall scripts.
