I don't think it'd be best to fail the build on failure to access a
/dev/ path for a host package configure stage.

Probably better to let the build complete, and check before running
the tool instead.

The tool itself will fail when trying to execute it and fuse-overlayfs
does not work, so the access check is technically already there.

I'll look at adding the systemd unit and init.d script.

Best regards,
Christian
