oops, this should be fixed.  i've also made a slightly better effort
at documenting this part too.

that's pretty cool.  i actually meant to more =E6ctively support such a
method (calling a script instead of just including a file) in the next
attempt, but looks like you've already found a way to do so :)  i'm
also going to add a more general "exec" method to make this even
easier.

yeah, i think that's what's going on.  i'll see about making the config
function not run in such a situation, because it will run again at
postinst time anyway.
