With 'install_alternative' ptxdist follows links and tries to install the
contents, so this cannot work.

For /etc/resolv.conf newer versions of ptxdist have an option to make it a
link to /run/resolv.conf, which is a better location as /tmp/.

@$(call install_link, rootfs, /run/resolv.conf, /etc/resolv.conf)

That's not possible. But you can disable all files in rootfs and install
you're one versions with install_link. For everything else you need to
copy the rules into your BSP and modify them.
