Perhaps a good thing for somebody to work on would be reimplementing

This has got to be a dpkg bug. There's no good reason for a package not
to be able to trigger itself,
initial install, to be more tolerant of bootstrapping tools that
configure the Essential set in slightly different orders (based on a
patch from Michael Tautschnig; see #766459 and #767999).

cdebconf is actually ahead of debconf on this right now: it already has
the 'dpkg-query --control-path' thing (and just runs it once per
script), and it also already sets the DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_* variables. It
does need the triggers work, though.

Don't those systems use filesystems that consider rename() as a barrier

This in turn would lead to more packages failing to build when some of
their build-dependencies have their dependencies rearranged, which leads
