Not a direct answer, but I can strongly recommend making your own packages
for this sort of situation. It's make those tasks idempotent and scales a lot
better if you can leverage your underlying package manager.

Building debs/rpms is a massive pain, I know - have a look at FPM
( https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm )
if you need something to make it really easy.
