   @jeeves I never used Nix, but for at least one decade, the trend across all distros has been towards stateless root filesystem and removing those pesky post-install / uninstall scriptlets.

   The oldest mechanism is triggers: https://wiki.debian.org/DpkgTriggers

   The .d directory idiom eliminated tons of sketchy scripts that edit etc files.on package installation.

   Then came systemd, which eliminated all those distro-specific scripts to enable and disable daemons.
