It is not borked, that's completely correct. Maybe not pretty and
convenient, but definitely not "borked".

Really feels wrong to me: there is absolutely no reason for
skeleton-init-common and skeleton-custom to depend on host-skeleton.

That feels like a much better solution to me. We already do that for
the skeleton anyway. Would that be OK for you?
