You can't run these %post things on the host.  Normally they do
target-ish things.

They can't easily, you have to aggregate the set of changes into one
rc.local, or call out to scripts.  This is a weakness of the current
scheme.  rc.local is run last of all the init startup scripts, so you
can:

$ mkdir merge
$ cp rootfs/etc/rc.d/rc.local merge
/// make your changes/additions
$ ./ltib
