I have an %ips_tag patch ready, building on Andras's, and I'm looking
at actions. Does pkg apply them always at the right moment, no matter
the order in which they were sent into the pkg manifest, or should
there be pre-install (e.g. creation of a new user) and post-install
(e.g. driver registration) actions?
