It depends upon the spell and the type of trigger used.
In general removing a spell doesn't need to trigger anything unless it leaves
an installed package broken like Linux-PAM or libiconv do if they are
dispelled.
The reason that Python triggers things is so modules that used to be
installed
in the python2.2 dir got rebuilt and installed in the newly made python2.3
dir.
For Python 2.3 -> 2.3.1 it probably isn't needed at all. Any modules left in
that site automatically become useless without Python itself and if they have
python as optional_depends when next cast they will not build or install the
python module.
The other point that several spells that did depend on Python could now be
removed is IMO a sorcery feature request.
