I wouldn't target run-postinst directly here, but either write your own
recipe shipping an init script that self-destructs, or has a postinst that
defers using so it runs on first boot.

I'm not very happy with the layout of run-postinsts so may end up changing
it in the next release cycle.  Assuming things about it - such as the name
of the package or where to drop scripts - could bite you in the future.
