I could use some help with the scenario I have.=C2=A0 =C2=A0We have a 3rd-p=
arty vendor that has provided us with a debian package for us to include in=
 our OS image.=C2=A0 The vendor maintains the package feed and provides upd=
ates periodically.=C2=A0 I need to find a way to get the their package inst=
alled into our OS image.=C2=A0 Not just extracted into, but installed with =
dpkg metadata and everything.=C2=A0 =C2=A0Using bin_package works... kinda.=
 It leaves out some things like postinst and the versioning can change. Is =
there another way to incorporate a third-party package that would be closer=
 to installing the package on first boot?=C2=A0 Thanks in advance.
