I had to do this also, and I had to explicitly "export PATH" to get the finish script to work. Otherwise I dpkg complains. What I probably did differently is that I booted the system with "init=/bin/bash" on the command line instead of letting it just run init. I needed to do this because if I let it run init, I got complaints about PAM failures when trying to log in as root. How are you booting the system on first run? Also, when booting on something like a 5200 with an uncommon serial ports name (ttyPSC0), I had to manually add the /dev/ttyPSC0 device file before it would boot.
