The preinst/postinst/prerm/postrm scripts belonging to a package will
be skipped by opkg during image creation as this step uses an offline
root (the -o flag to opkg). These scripts will be run if the package
is installed/removed directly on the target system. Perhaps in this
case, you also need to use ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND?
