Correct, but I think you knew that anyway, since you probably did:

ls -l /etc/e-smith/events/*/*conf-lilo

Almost completely correct. The post-upgrade event is also called after
restoring from tape or network backup. That might seem odd, but both an
in-place upgrade and a restore result in the merging of old user and
configuration data with new software, so all the same things need to be
done to put things into a ready-to-run state.
