Ok, IMHO there are a few things to note here:

- Why do you need to customize base.tgz at all? 
- If it is really required, why don't you just manually replace the base.tgz
  file?
- It is hardcoded there as it doesn't make sense anywhere else, but you could
  simply replace extrbase by a hook that does the same things apart from the
  different filename and an additional "skiptask extrbase"

HTH,
Michael
