Uh, why? I don't try to move things around, but just to separate them to
remove any complexity:

I want to have the admin interface save the inline models, and when that
is done, post-process / update them as required.

The only key piece that I'm missing is where to hook into the admin for
that purpose?

The documentation mentions several methods that look promising, e.g.

ModelAdmin.save_model()
ModelAdmin.save_formset()
ModelAdmin.save_related()

but unfortunately says nothing about their purpose, or the context or
the order that they're called in.

Best regards,
Carsten
