No, triggers unfortunately are not that simple: if you install/upgrade
openstack-dashboard together with some of the packages it wants a
trigger on, $1="triggered" will sometimes not happen, only "configure".

Have a look at these:

• https://evolvis.org/plugins/scmgit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=evolvis-platfrm/evolvisforge.git;a=blob;f=mw-plugin/debian/triggers;h=723d1c077e3cf10350952cf9ded297b85cfde812;hb=HEAD
• https://evolvis.org/plugins/scmgit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=evolvis-platfrm/evolvisforge.git;a=blob;f=mw-plugin/debian/postinst;h=fa480512bf5b32bcfe5412544159a158e6cfab08;hb=HEAD

The thing to call when triggered is the upgrade_mediawikis shell
function, it’s called from the “triggered” case, but also from
the regular “configure” case. This is suboptimal, but apparently
needed.
