Yes, there is. You're using the SDK in a way which it wasn't really intended for and we're seeing "feature creep" where systemd's requirements being pushed into places they don't really belong. If systemd was truly "cross", you wouldn't need to force the target layout into the SDK. The SDK layout should be independent of the target system and this breaks that understanding. If we accept this patch, how can one SDK work with different init systems? So I don't really feel it appropriate to merge this change, sorry. Cheers, Richard
