But the build system has a "--distro-compatibility" parameter. In fact that
parameter is required if you want your distro to be "Haiku Compatible". So
there's already a build system precedent for facilitating the building of
distros.
Why not also provide a parameter to help make the required legal adjustments
(About This System, etc.)? It seems inconsistent to have a way to make the
distro compatible but not have a way to make the distro legal.
Just my two cents. :)
