Right, it seems the scriptlet names should rather be of the form
"pre-install" and "post-install" etc, since the plugins still seem to
get invoked. When you look at it that way the current scriptlet names
are quite misleading. Super-useful, just awkwardly named.

It also seems, in that light, that we could have just been been rigorous
about giving you the ability to stick a scriptlet before and after each
step in the pipeline. Instead it's a bit of ad-hocness.
