It doesn’t seem to be possible using an ansible list for a hook file path.

I want to extend the `deploy_build_after` hook file, adding new functionality while preserving the original one (from Trellis). I want to avoid editing the file directly for better pulling+merging further Trellis updates (I use trellis as normal git repository and pull from GitHub).
