Both should run without any problems.  In fact, the base livecd configs
depend on this to set up things like the GPL and REAMDE on the top level
of the cd.  They'll run in the order that they exist within the config
file for an arbitrary number of scripts -- we loop over them in
imgcreate/creator.py:__run_post_scripts()

%pre scripts in general are ignored right now because I'm not sure what
the real use case for them is.  In the installer case, it's to set up
hardware.  Which isn't really relevant for livecd-creator
