You'd have to introduce a provides you could depend on, yes.

Sure, I was just pointing out that these things have a spectrum of both
inherent and solution complexity.  Activating an additional postinstall
stratum is in fact just adding one character to one constant string in
postinstall.cc, but how to actually use it would be a more involved
discussion.

Yes, that seems like a better solution.  I see a lot of the texlive
stuff already works this way and it appears to have no problems.  While
you're at it, please make it a dash script unless you really need
bashisms.

From memory, I think as long as you only "--add/--del" then that should
work, but "--create" would clobber any existing content.  So libxml2
postinstall should install the default/empty catalog file and then any
other package should just add/delete the entries that are under control
of that package.
