I believe we added this feature (and I did so somewhat reluctantly)
because some Kepler module needed to run some final setup task... but
right now I can't find any rockspec using it in my cache of the
repositories. Fabio, do you remember why we added this and if it is
still needed?

I'm asking this because moving it around like Alexander requested
would change its overall semantics and I'm afraid it would break
something.
