One of the things I added to /fai/scripts/LAST was this line:

	# Make sure everything is configured properly
	echo "running apt-get -f install"
	chroot  $target apt-get -f install

This pretty much takes care of any package which wasn't properly 
configured *before* the client reboots to it's own installed OS.
