Bug#453360: live-helper: global hooks mini and minimal break local hooks natural flow.
I agree. Mini and minimal hooks are not normal hooks. They should not be
implemented like normal hooks, but as "cleanup hooks", "teardown script" or
something like that. In that way, live-helper will make sure to cleanup just
*after* all other hooks were executed.
