Yep, I already did this but haven't committed it yet.

I thought this was already done this way. i guess due to the new changes
it is not happening that way anymore. Will fix it :).

Strange, if it failed, maybe it is an upstream issue. I'll double check.

Now, however, let me ask you something. Should this command be also run
after any upgrade? Or should this command be run only after package
installation for the first time?

Well, while it might be a good idea, I think this should not be done in
packaging because this is only for upgrades from/to revisions that have
not yet been released officially. Once we do so, this scenario won't be
found as users will have to run maas-import-pxe-files to get the new pxe
files. So we would have code that will only work on upgrades for
packages that don't "exist".

What are your thoughts?
