It would also be helpful to apply hooks to directories recursively

Title:
Allow applying a hook to multiple files
Status in “click” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Currently, a click hook can be applied to a single file. However, in
some cases it might be needed for a click package to install several
files in the same directory. For instance, a click package installing
a new account plugin which provides different services (for instance,
a website could provide an e-mail service, instant messaging, file
sharing, etc.) which are represented to libaccounts via XMl files
installed to /usr/share/accounts/services (or
~/.local/share/accounts/services).
I would suggest providing the hook's "Pattern" field with a variable
holding the filename of the source file (just the base name, with the
path stripped out), so that it can be used to differentiate the
symlinks in the target directory. So one could write a Pattern like
this for libaccounts's services:
Pattern: ${home}/.local/share/accounts/services/${id}_${basename}
Then also the manifest file should allow specifying a list of files:
"hooks": {
"example-app": {
"apparmor": "apparmor/example-app.json",
"desktop": "example-app.desktop",
"account-service": ["cool-email.service", "cool-chat.service"]
}
}
