Indeed. I tried to get in a patch to Drupal 5 to support our 
implementation of these kind of features, but it was too late in the 
cycle, so it was rejected. We either need to duplicate the functionality 
from the module and theme admin pages, or we need to stick in two submit 
callbacks to the forms, one that runs early, and one that runs last, so 
we can see, what was changed in the database about modules 
(enabled/disabled/installed) and themes (enabled/disabled). That way, we 
can stick our process into the enable/disable flow.

As far as I see know, adding a pre-submit and a post-submit callback is 
the better way to go, as it involves less core code duplication (but 
more database magic).
