Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When you upgrade salt packages sometimes the salt-pip packages stop working.
Describe the solution you'd like
a local-requirements.txt file which exists in /etc/salt . that file should automatically have salt-pip install run against it after package upgrades.
Describe alternatives you've considered
us os package hooks but thats a pain to maintain, having a regular cron which just re-installs packages...
Please Note
If this feature request would be considered a substantial change or addition, this should go through a SEP process here https://github.com/saltstack/salt-enhancement-proposals, instead of a feature request.
