The downside is that for custom sysv init scripts or systemd unit
files, you can put them in an overlay/post-build, but for s6 "service"
files, you cannot do that: they must be installed by a package.

But perhaps that is an acceptable thing, at least in a first step.

Vadim: what do you think ? Would you be OK with a solution where only
packages can install s6 service files ?

Best regards,

Thomas
