<command>rm -v /tmp/*.service</command>: This command removes
systemd units which have no use on SysV systems.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>-Dsystemdunitdir=/tmp</parameter>: This parameter puts systemd
units in /tmp on SysV systems so that they can be removed. It also bypasses
a check for systemd <!-- for sd-bus --> in the meson.build file.
