This was (loosely) intentionally called in the same manner as buildstep deploys to maintain a similar execution path. Can you provide your use case that requires this change?

I don't have an example use-case right now as I noticed this while reading the code.

However, looking at the logic for buildstep, the actual build is triggered after the pre-build* hooks.

Hm. I'm clearly not recalling correctly. Seems legit to me then.

@josegonzalez: what do you think here?

Dockerfile deployments are brand new for dokku and I don't think there are any dockerfile-specific plugins yet. I was hoping to feedback on this workflow as folks started to use it. In any case, as this is early days making this particular change is probably semantically correct at the least. 😄

Seems legit to me.
