How about something like this:
We add an additional include line to the Makefiles:
Makefile.<phase>.custom -> Makefile.build.custom , Makefile.install.custom

Then you can have your own custom Makefiles, which you just have to copy in
there.

You would only have to specify the dependencies within your own custom
scripts:
script1: | script2 script3
script2: | script5

Let me try adding that functionality to the Makefiles.
