Note that hook example files are available in /usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples
which you could even point to it using 

cowbuilder --build --hookdir /usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples XXX.dsc

to see the full extent of current available hooks.  If you had looked
at C10shell hook, it would have been obvious...


BTW, I like your idea of using A hooks to do it.
I presume you're doing something like 

	pdebuild -- --hookdir XXXX --bindmount $(pwd)/.. --pbuilder cowbuilder
