As you can see there, it would be helpful if version numbers and other package meta data are available from .install scripts. I think also Arjan would be happy as well as all the other gnome-package-related maintainer, since the schemas install reduce to one script, that will insert the package's name and that's it.
Maybe they are already there, and I just havent found something about that.
This task depends upon

Package versions are passed to scriptlet functions as arguments...

eg,

# arg 1: the new package version
# arg 2: the old package version
post_upgrade() {
echo "Upgrading from $2 to $1"
}
