Best way to install backports with FAI

Hi,

I need X.org for some of my video hardware so I am using backports.org
for installing X. I was not sure if I could install X using the normal
FAI package system so I wrote the following short script/hook:

$ROOTCMD apt-get clean
$ROOTCMD apt-get -yt sarge-backports install x-window-system-core

This hook works fine but I am wondering if I there is a system in
place in FAI so that I can do this without a script. Is it possible to
somehow pass arguments to apt-get with FAI?

Thanks,
