  Description     : processes tmpfiles.d directives to seed the filesystem

A portable drop-in re-implementation of systemd-tmpfiles.

Implements pretty much all of systemd-tmpfiles, searches the same config paths
and allows for per-user configs.

The alternative package is systemd-standlone-tmpfiles, but that is built from
src:systemd and as such is not suitable for the hurd architecture. It would
also be desirable to have a lightweight and independent version of this
facility available as use of tmpfiles.d proliferates among packages and
fallback commands in maintscripts are removed.

The equivalently independent solution for sysuser.d, opensysusers, has a
popconf of 157.

An alternative independent upstream tmpfiles.d solution, opentmpfiles, has been
abandoned and deprecated upstream: https://github.com/OpenRC/opentmpfiles.
Before packaging seedfiles, which is a new project, it might be worth reviewing
to see if it seems like a good long term prospect.
