AFAICT, package managers do indeed call dpkg several times, meaning
the triggers effect isn't as much a big win as it could be. :(
You could check that by calling your package manager with:

not sure how you want to solve it, but autoreconf'ing without
pkg-config installed leads to a bad configure-time error.
