This does not make any sense to me. For one thing, silo-installer runs 
after the base install. The whole point of my hook is to give user a 
chance to return to partman immediately if there is a problem, and correct 
it. If it is run from silo-installer, user will have to go through the 
base install (which can take ages on slow network/slow hardware) only to 
discover that silo will not function properly afterwards.

Another point is that silo-installer is completely independent of partman 
and thus does not contain any finish.d hooks. In fact, it is completely 
empty package, which only creates silo.conf and runs silo in its postinst.

Unless there are good counterarguments, please consider reassigning it 
back to partman-target (or other partman-related package, if appropriate).
