** Description changed:
+ ========================================================
+ SRU Justification
+ 1. Impact: users cannot modify grub parameters or specify NFS automount to
/etc/fstab with execscript
+ 2. Bug addressed: the bug was addressed by delaying the call to execscripts
+ 3. Patch: See the linked bzr tree.
+ 4. TEST CASE: Use vmbuilder with an execscript adding NFS automount to
/etc/fstab.
+ 5. Regression potential: If there were cases where users depended on
execscripts running earlier (which is unlikely), their installs would break.
+ ========================================================

Hi all,
--exec scripts are currently run at the end of distro install, rather than
at the end of Hypervisor.install_os.
Because it runs so early, I've had trouble:
Adding an NFS automount to /etc/fstab
Adding options to GRUB to pass to my custom kernel
Installing my own kernel package (I'd rather just use dpkg than setup
a repo, etc.)
While some of these things can be done at firstboot, kernel and grub
reconfiguration can't be done, making any kernel options critical for
the first boot impossible.
Similarly, network reconfiguration is difficult as most of the network
configuration is done after execscript is executed.
