alex, i don't understand your point.

The issue, as far as i can tell, is that we have two pre-install
targets, one run before and one after the credentials switch,
and the question was whether there is a real need to have both,
or just the latter suffices.

My position was that probably one can consider the pre-no-su-install
step as part of the 'build' target, but maybe i am missing something ?
