FWIW after working around bug 984932 by making my *own* package depend
on the packages that firstboot should have required for itself, and
after downgrading my UI code from Gtk3 to pygtk2 (which required that I
stop using pyanaconda.users), I now have a firstboot module that works.

I'd still like to convert it to initial-setup at some point, but it's
working for now.
