The pre/post phase hooks are not designed for this, they are only
intended for users to put in /etc/portage/bashrc. For what you are
trying to do, it seems like a registration interface would be more
appropriate (something like register_die_hook). Maybe the usage
could go something like this:

  register_phase_hook install post my_post_src_install
