As far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't mind building libnss-myhostname from
the systemd source package. Keep in mind though, that systemd is
linux-any and the old libnss-myhostname was arch any.

Do you want to keep maintaing libnss-myhostname as a separate source
package for !linux-any or should we just drop it for those
architectures? This would e.g. make freedombox-setup uninstallable on
!linux unless the libnss-myhostname dependency is made arch-dependent.
