Yes, I agree that in some cases it could be useful but not as a package 
check because this check is totally unrelated to the package install status.

Such checks should be executed prior to wpkg execution - WPKG client 
already supports such pre-execution checks.

As I proposed such "tools" which allow to do such checks and exit with 
certain exit codes could be created and provided as a tool set.
