draft because I am not sure if this is actually works, still need to test.

So the simplest thing would be do this as part of make install, then it'd end up in the rpm package (and on every system). I believe this change should be safe, but if we do it this way it means it will be invoked (and should just be a no-op) even on dnf (or other) based systems because we'll not have the layout=ostree.

A bit more conservative change would be for us to inject it at postprocess time (hence it only gets injected into ostree systems).

But I'd lean towards the former, and just sanity check that our no-op is working.

This breaks kernel-install somehow... I would have expected that the dropin would not get triggered.

I need to dig.

It looks like maybe the problem is that the old kernel dir is sticking around... we might be skipping the cleanup for some reason and in my local test I had the DNF config to keep one kernel. re-testing without that.
