No, this was decided by random long time ago.
The question is if hooks like to modify the initrd or the
tftp environment more often. Here hooks are more like a postinst (run
it after most things are done) script.

But maybe the subroutine setup_tftp() is known inside the hooks, so
just call setup_tftp again in your hook.
