I don't like this approach :) I think the correct way forward is to add
directories like
$PREFIX/libdata/pkg_install/{pre,post}-{install,deinstall}
and execute the scripts in it (sorted by C locale strcmp). This should
happen in the same place as the current +INSTALL/+DEINSTALL calls with
consistent order relative to them.
