Oh, that not possible. A hook called instsoft.* will be executed
before installing software packages. You can't call a hook during a
task, only before or after a task. So if you can't fcopy the config
files before installing mkinitrd-tools, your hook should fcopy the
config AND install the package mkinitrd-tools before installing the
other packages.
