Exactly. Except that libbsd-overlay really wants to get before
/usr/include because it wants to provide overrides for standard headers.
Beark... :-(

We discussed with lldpd's author on IRC, and after his explanations it
looks better to simply disable use of libbsd in lldpd: it is only ever
used for a few functions that anyway have replacement in lldpd, and the
setproctitle() (which does what its names means).

setproctitle has not replacement, but is not a mandatory requirement, so
it can be disabled, which happens when libbsd is not enabled.

So, I'm doing a patch to just disable use of libbsd by lldpd.
