The "proper" way would be via an ebuild first, and fsscript second.

Remember also, that catalyst is not designed to be everything to
everyone.  One of the primary reasons for having catalyst calling tons
of external scripts, rather than incorporating everything into a single
monolithic script/executable, is to allow you, the user, to replace
portions of it to do what you want.  It is designed to be flexible, but
sometimes it requires someone to rewrite a module or modify it to get
the exact results desired.
