Ok. There aren't allowed to directories under /etc/postinstall BTW.

well, you'll have one instance of ScriptRunner for both the dependency
order package scripts, and the found-by-filename scripts. If you have
pre-running-a-vector or post-running-a-vector code, then that belongs in
run(). If that code goes into the constructor, then sure, eliminate
run().

Check the template, IIRC it takes a copy of the object, calls the copy's
operator (), then returns a copy of the copy.

i.e. if we want failure stats, script run counts etc, we need the return
value.
