The linux-headers packages do support postinst hooks. The problem is that dpkg installation does not recurse. So calling 'm-a a-i' in the postinst of a linux-headers package would fail. This is one reason why we now recommend using DKMS instead of m-a. DKMS doesn't require the compiled modules to be built into a package, so it can auto-install in the way that you want.
