Anything that requires credentials may be tricky unless we have a test
account or other approaches to testing software that's run out of a
locker, logging in, etc.
The easiest thing to do would be to drop an init script at the end of
install but I'm not sure how valuable that will be since it will be run
outside of the chroot environment. For now I can wait until the reboot
and make sure it's at the very least alive after the install.
