Yes, there is a way: as a post-installation command, setup a DCOP signal which 
your app catches, with the filename as a parameter.

[KNewStuff]
InstallationCommand=dcop kstars newdatafile %f

Normally, subclassing should only be done if complex setups are needed.

Did you configure the right download server, i.e. point knewstuff to your 
providers.xml file?

I just updated CVS and will try it out.
