I don't have a usecase for generating the postscript, yet :-) But anything that needs a "list of things" seems to be a candidate for being generated. Andreas

I have opted for removing the remaining versioned constraints. Thanks, ~Niels
Bug#871959: debhelper: dh_installdeb does not run executable package.triggers to generate triggers
Package: debhelper Version: 10.7.2 Severity: normal in src:glx-alternatives I have a script to generate debian/glx-alternative-mesa.triggers, but unfortunately I have to run it explicitly from debian/rules, I cannot just make it executable and name it debian/glx-alternative-mesa.triggers as it works with other files. dh_installdeb also generates 'Pre-Depends: dpkg (>> ...)', for having .maintscript files. It might be useful to something similar for triggers, according to deb-triggers(5) this must be 'Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.16.1)' for -noawait triggers and 'Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.17.21)' for -await triggers.
