Well, partly my fault. I was using defaultUserHooks, but this is now
marked as deprecated, so I changed it to simpleUserHooks. Make a
change, something breaks, is there a connection? :-)

We were always overriding the postConf hook, so using
autoconfUserHooks as a defaultUserHooks replacement seems to work.

Thanks,
