At the first fix stage you cut out a section of the ceiling between the joists at each light position and fix a bit of plasterboard in its place, once the plasterer has spread his much around it'll be as good as new and you have a stable ceiling.
If it's being over boarded you should still cut a big hole in the lathe and plaster so that the downlights only get fitted in to plasterboard and not the uber-thick lathe and plaster.
