    community/seatd: move seatd-launch into subpackage · c465729b
    Jakub Jirutka authored
    seatd-launch needs SUID to be useful. SUID binaries are a security
    risk and this very binary had a vulnerability allowing privilege
    escalation (CVE-2021-41387)!
    
    seatd-launch is not necessary for using seatd and libseat, so the
    user should have an option to NOT install it on their system.
