requires libxkbcommon to be installed.
+ * All systemd programs that read standalone configuration files
+ in /etc now also support a corresponding series of
+ .conf.d configuration directories in /etc/, /run/,
+ /usr/local/lib/, /usr/lib/, and (if configured with
+ --enable-split-usr) /lib/. In particular, the following
+ configuration files now have corresponding configuration
+ directories: system.conf user.conf, logind.conf,
+ journald.conf, sleep.conf, bootchart.conf, coredump.conf,
+ resolved.conf, timesyncd.conf, journal-remote.conf, and
+ journal-upload.conf. Note that distributions should use the
+ configuration directories in /usr/lib/; the directories in
+ /etc/ are reserved for the system administrator.
