Would be nice, yes.

For the message, you can currently approximate that by emitting the
message when the package is compiled (with a `(eval-when-compile
(message ...))` or something), tho it's not very satisfactory:
- it's arguably too late (the package is already installed).
- it can't distinguish between an upgrade, a new install, a reinstall, ...
