<div>You can, however, put a "normal" BIRD install package
into /config/data/firstboot/install-packages and have a script
in /config/scripts/firstboot.d which may restore the config file
(or a symlink to /config/bird.conf, which also survives the big
culling). In that case the package gets re-installed early
during the first boot after a FW update (and the script called).</div>

<div>If the BIRD distribution depends on other packages, those
also need to go into /config/data/firstboot/install-packages.</div>

<div>And of course you need to have scripts updating the packages
in /config/data/firstboot/install-packages, when you update them
