Jérémy, All,

I don;t think we (at the current point) need a user-visible option.

This host-systemd is initially a way to get systemctl only, and this is
just internal to how Buildroot will enable the units (by using systemctl
preset-all or so).

Later, if/when it becomes possible to build extra utilities for users to
manually run (or in a post-build/image script), then we can expose a
user-visible host-systemd option.

But for now, it is not needed.

Too many empty lines. Run 'make check-package'.

This list will be difficult to maintain on each version bump... :-(
Can't we push for upstream to implement a simple switch:
--disable-all-that-is-not-explicitly-enabled-please-and-i-d-like-a-pony-too-pretty-please

Once again, I think we should just keep systemctl for now: remove
everything else. We just need systemctl for now.

We can then *later* add those (esp. analyse).

It is not possible to make an RPATH longer than it previously was. How
can we ensure that the rpath that is set by meson will be big enough to
later cary our own rpath?
