under all circumstances. In fact, systemd-hostnamed will warn
if nss-myhostname is not installed.
+ nss-systemd must be enabled on systemd systems, as that's required for
+ DynamicUser= to work. Note that we ship services out-of-the-box that
+ make use of DynamicUser= now, hence enabling nss-systemd is not
+ optional.
+
+ Note that the build prefix for systemd must be /usr. -Dsplit-usr=false
+ (which is the default and does not need to be specified) is the
+ recommended setting, and -Dsplit-usr=true should be used on systems
+ which have /usr on a separate partition.
