So it looks like to change the template for every entry that is about to
be rendered you'd have to iterate over entries, something like:

    def cb_prepare(args):
        request = args['request']
        data = request.get_data()
        if data['bl_type'] == 'dir':
            entrylist = data['entry_list']
            for entry in entrylist:
                entry['template_name'] = 'story-index'

(Assuming the entries come as dictionaries like that, but you get the
idea.)
