Not fully sufficient, but close. A "no patch solution" is to indeed
generate a cache file in post install scripts. Any application that
calls gst_init() will do, gst-inspect-1.0 is a way of course. So
something like:

# Global env
GST_REGISTRY=/usr/share/gstreamer-1.0/registry.$(uname -m).bin
GST_REGISTRY_UPDATE=no

# In post install scripts (env must be set)
gst_inspect-1.0 > /dev/null
