[Bug 1216043] [NEW] driver-inject-disk: in target debs are installed before kernel has been

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Public bug reported:

Driver-inject-disk copies the debs in a well known location, and later
installs them in-target.

At the moment this is done during post-base-installer.d/* time, which is
just before the kernel is installed in-target.

Thus if a deb has dependencies on the correct linux-image-3.x.y-WW-
generic, it will fail to install & configure at that time.

A better time to install driver-injection-disk debs would be at pre-
pkgse.d/* time, since that is after the kernel has been installed but
before initramfs has been updated in-target.

I'll propose such a change, but it is probably worth testing with pre-
existing driver-injection-disks.
