Firstboot was what came to mind when I read Dax's original message.

Since firstboot exists to perform one-time, first-time (though not
entirely necessary) things I think we should look at adding policy just
for firstboot.  Then, the last thing that firstboot should do is to
remove the firstboot only policy into the appropriate "unused"
directory.
