Yes, I think they are certainly making sense as hooks, but the problem is
that the plug-in interface currently defined as "collection plug-in".
It would be
strange to add some per-file hooks to smth that is defined as "collection
plug-in". Maybe we can rename the whole construction and reorganize it in
a more generic way? I will ask rpm maintainer about this.

Agree, I guess if we go the path of defining the general rpm plugin interface,
then this can be included there too.
