Looks like most suggestions and comments (like mine and the one by JohnFlux)
would be mostly covered by your "compromise". It allows for both the
"mechanism vs. policy" paradigm and the "inversion of control" paradigm where
applications can suggest certain actions to be performed but eventually
another component will perform them. Independently from the actual
implementation, I think such a system can only work safely when it honours
these two paradigms.
Are alternative actions to directly installing packages (like just showing an
informational page instead) part of Shaman or would this be another layer on
top of it?
Given the complexity and contestability of the topic, perhaps you should start
a techbase proposal page with some diagrams before hacking on it.
