What about implementing some sort of an "event-hook notification"
functionality where wpkg.js could call functions located in separate JS
file(s) (if available), so that custom solutions could be used. For example,
when wpkg.js detects that changes (whether installation, upgrades, or
removal) need to be made to the system, it could call the appropriate
pre-determined function in the external JS file. This external JS function
could then perform any kind of action, including using a custom message
solution to let the user know what's going on. If none of these "event hook"
external JS files are found or the callback functions themselves are not
found, then wpkg.js would just continue on as normal.
