+# ../../examples/container/flake.nix, ../../examples/deploy-container.sh and

+# extra-container evaluates the container host with a minimal module set to keep
+# eval times low. NixOS 26.05 added references to the following options to
+# `system/boot/systemd.nix`, which is part of that module set, while their
+# declaring modules are not.
+#
+# The defaults match the ones from the declaring modules. Like extra-container's
+# own dummy options, these declarations have no type because they only exist to
+# make host eval succeed. They don't affect the resulting container units.
