Sure, that doesn't sound problematic? We'll need the same for bin/ and
sbin/ for at least a cycle as you already pointed out. Sounds like a
job for base-files.
In the far future I'd like for these details to be owned by image
builders/launchers/setup processes rather than a package, but this can
be discussed separately and independently, no need to be tied to this
effort.
Kind regards,
