You beat me to this suggestion by like 5 minutes :)

Yes, unless you're using some other approach to install packages, this works
well. Also, the command can potentially be the same as the preseed/late_command.
In checkbox-satellite, we define a late_command that then gets merged into the
preseed, so there's no need to manually duplicate it.

To run stuff in the target you can do it like this (just like in d-i late_command):

in-target apt-get install whatever; \
in-target echo "whatever" >/etc/file.conf; \  #relative to /target
