  last Q: section in dev manual,
http://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/common-tasks.html#post-installation-scripts,
reads:

"To delay script execution until boot time, you must explicitly mark
post installs to defer to the target. You can use
pkg_postinst_ontarget() or call postinst_intercept delay_to_first_boot
from pkg_postinst()."

  ok, but if one can use the well-defined former mechanism, what is
the point of the second mechanism? if there is a difference, that
section does not explain to the reader what it is.

  and that should do it.
