Actually I _need_ a better idea because mine doesn't work: it actually 
creates what I want (/var/lib/smart/config) but since do_rootfs also 
uses this directory to install packages, it wipes it out at the end of 
the process... so my installation is removed :(

I'm sure someone else did something like this (but succeeded) ?
