Here's how _update-info-dir does it:
sdesc: "Generate info/dir file automatically"
category: _PostInstallLast
requires: texinfo ash
autodep: usr/info/.*
incver_ifdep: yes
You'd probably want something like:
sdesc: "Conditionally move default files to proper location"
category: _PostInstallLast
requires: ash
autodep: etc/defaults/.*
incver_ifdep: yes
This would run automatically whenever packages are downloaded and
installed in one shot. It wouldn't run if someone downloads everything
and then installs piecemeal, though.
The script to move the files would be the only thing in the package and
it would be a post-install script.
