Exactly, AFAICT something extra is apparently needed. In particular,
get is not ok, because dispatch is a different event (but dispatch is
however an already controlled event), while put could be used,
provided that it is guaranteed to be executed only after dispatch. If
it is not, then I think that an extra flag or something should be
added to the request. I don't know whether adding this extra piece
would be worst than adding an extra hook.

If my comments above do not trigger any proposal of a better solution,
then I will try by adding only one extra 'deactivate' hook. Unless
unbalanced hooks are a bad idea too.
Thanks,
