Frans idea is to have it bellow of finish install so in normal
installation it wouldn't install. The user would then need to load it
and select the menu entry byhand.
If user selects (or runs, without selecting) finish install it ends
rebooting the system, like a normal installation does.
Doing it, would make difficult to force its run using presseding.

I think it's useful to avoid questions to users and then or we're
conservative and choose one generic flavour or we try to detect it.

While I agree with Frans on that, in some ways, I also think that some
people would like to preseed its run and maybe it could be done
just before finish install.
Frans, could you comment on it?

It would be nice if you could send a new patch so we could build it
and give it a try easily.
