That helps if you call it manually maybe. I assume the distro will call bootctl
install unattended somehow. Eg after package installation to update the
bootloader. So it somehow has to remember what to pass. Therefore either a
config file is needed or a different value has to be built in.

Well, upstream thinks there's only one instance of sd-boot. In practice it's
installed by a specific distribution so in the end different distros will again
compete about that entry. So IMO we should still label that with openSUSE.

I'd like to keep this open to track the missing feature.
