ACK.
For what it's worth, the InstallScript level really is the wrong level for
this kind of things as multiple install scripts are typically needed to
install a single OS, and this API acts on a single install script. As a
library user, I don't really care about that level of detail, and having
something global to all install scripts needed to install an OS would be
plenty enough.
