Yes, I thought about this solution, however it does not look to be generic. I'd expect some well documented and official way to pass params to installation scripts ... (like we have with MSI and MST files in Windows).
I expect that there may be an official way - it's just that I've not located it yet.
But when Stéphane didn't chime in with his usual fantastic answers, my hope was lowered ;-)
In any case, another thing is bothering me: installation plugins are executed before elevation of privileges, and it is not safe to pass their data to installation scripts which are executed under root. The same applies to passing params via /tmp folder ...
We're lucky in that case… only 1 variable and it's not a piece of data we need to protect in any case.
Do let us know if you find a good alternative!
