This shouldn't be a problem--it's just a matter of adding them
to the dependency list and running them after the build.

Does piuparts need any extra setup e.g. a chroot inside the chroot
to do its install and purge tests?  If it's all handled automatically
by the package postinst that's fine, and for efficiency it can be
installed in the source chroot so that it's not installed and set up
for every build.
