You have code that rescans /etc/init.d and parses those LSB-Foo-Bar
comments, is that right? If so, you have three options:

1. Piggyback on someone's post-install hooks.
2. Run inotify() in a patched epoch and watch for file creation in
/etc/init,d
3. Invent a new hook that lets you process ALL dpkg -i calls.

Pick your poison.
