Comment 5 for bug 782007

I don't think users could ever not be able to do something later -- they could practically manually re-install their chroot from scratch, to take the extreme case.

The danger is just that there are existing execscript users that currently depend on the order of things. It's certainly possible to come up with theoretical situations where someone *could* currently have scripts that depend on this ordering of things -- but I'm having trouble coming up with situations anyone really would want that behavior. I guess they would have to want to put something into place in the chroot filesystem that would influence the behavior of the installation of grub, the kernel, the network or mounts. But that seems like it would be pretty awkward -- those packages don't depend on pre-existing configuration, to my knowledge -- they just put their own configuration into place.

I don't see any reason why moving the execscript later would be a bad thing except for potentially breaking existing users. Adding a new second "--execscript2" hook could play it safe.. but that seems awkward to me.
