I think this is a good idea. And I do like the idea of using the
post-reboot facility once it's in place. My one caution is that this
would be optional, and made available as an example script, or that it
be "harmless" in some other way.
In particular, because of the issue of the appropriate rc script
potentially having a different name on each distro, and because of the
requirement for another tool that would have to become a client install
dependency.
