I thought about that, but the script is called from inside the function
instanciate_veth, where it uses the host side veth device as an argument to the
script. Using a script to setup networking on the host is needed there unless
you use a bridge, it is probably not required when using e.g. physical
networking, but I'd also advocate for introducing more general purpose script
hooks, allowing more flexibility when using containers.
