This looks like a good approach.
Note that you can use install-data-hook; a -hook will always be run
after all the other install-data rules.  That way you can just omit
the dependencies.  This is better because the names of those
dependencies may change from release to release; they aren't a
documented part of the API.  (And in fact some day we'll probably
rename them to follow our "don't trash the namespace" naming
convention.)
