+Actually none of the above. Please do it in the systemd unit itself with
+ExecStartPre as this actually fixes the issues, whereas the internal
+approach does not (at least in my tests) :)
+
+I can help write this unit if you like?
+
+In actual fact, this shut down script could be something that the
+mgalive dracut module drops into /run/systemd/systemd. This would
+prevent any poking at the installed file system and maybe allows for
+easier hacking - i.e. no need to actually edit the squashfs filesystem
+to tweak certain things.
