(I think the claim that it is CLI-only is too strong, as I tried to
explain on IRC.)

Jelmer's suggestion that you propose an interface for the hook that
you'd like to use is a good one.  It will help us understand your
requirements better, specifically exactly what information you feel
should be available to the hook to help it generate the template.
