You can get "wings" for standard metal boxes to convert them to drylining
type. However, I avoid drylining boxes where possible.

Does anyone else recess the plasterboard/plaster under the lip of the
dry-liner box so that the flush sockets do actually sit flush with the
wall? It only takes a couple of minutes with a stanley knife to do the
job.

I prefer to stick a
wooden block behind (or noggin between studs) and mount a metal box to that
if at all possible.

Yes, especially if the box is close to a vertical studding that would
interfere with the wing.
