Need unattended install for percona-xtradb-cluster-57

[Guy Riddle]

What I need to do is install percona-xtradb-cluster-57 in a Docker container without any prompting for "root passwords" or other stuff. Also I don't want it to initialize the database during the "apt-get install" phase, just stick the files in the file system. What it seems to try and do is everything "all at once" -- e.g. install software including the standard my.cnf file then install the innodb tables, etc. in the location listed in the stock my.cnf.

What I need is 3 steps:
1. "apt-get install" to get things copied over.
2. I'll install my own my.cnf
3. Initialize tables in the data directory in my own my.cnf

The installation also fails, with no useful diagnostic message, when it gets to here

I currently am using percona-xtradb-cluster-56 where the post-install scripts don't blow up.
