I didn't look at the patch in too great of detail, since that will happen more on the upstream PR, but it generally looks good to me. The drop-in configs make sense and would be a much nicer way to handle this. |

In systemd package, we have a patch to change the path for writing symlinks/files
/etc/localtime,/etc/hostname, etc.I tried to make a different patch. Similar in principle but more generic. And submit it upstream in PR systemd/systemd#29831
But upstream proposed instead we use environment variables instead.
This PR patches systemd to support environment variable configuration of the paths. And shows the configuration needed for core-base.
