Sorry, I didn't quite realize you might just be asking if your work-around is kosher. I think it looks good, just make sure any configuration parameters which set the user reference to ais are updated to ais_corosync. There really isn't any other way to make a work-around other than to build from source after modifying post-inst, unless the normal install finishes correctly; then just update the correct configuration variables after manually creating the user you wish to use.
