Oh, and if you do happen to chat with anyone dpkg-related, as an
alternative, it might be handy if we had a tool (dpkg or other) that
could properly sort a list of packages in dependency order (i.e. to
replace our possibly sketchy tsorting).

(...if we've understood it correctly, the very limited guarantees wrt
 the state of dependencies during maintainer script invocations is the
 primary complexity.  I wonder how many maintainers realize just how
 limited they are, if you want to get it *right*.)
