Ideally the intercept code should fall back to running the postinst on
the target if qemu isn't available. Patches welcome to make that happen.

The hard part is this is an "allarch" recipe so we can't disable this
conditionally on aarch64. We can disable all intercept scripts I guess.

Or we make these packages arch specific on aarch64 I guess.
