For now it will need to just replicate the notification RT itself gives; it can be run in two many different ways for there to be a reliable automated way (at least not without a lot of work which hasn't been done yet). http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-request-tracker/request-tracker4.git;a=blob;f=debian/postinst;h=dd5c4995c90b43684f43bc445872e05a1ca80c7b;hb=HEAD#l11 Sorry I don't have a better answer. I suppose ideally there'd be a helper script that extension packages could call. Technically of course, an extension should only be deleting mason cache files directly related to its output, but I doubt that is worth the fuss.
