Hello,

I am not terribly concerned with the change, but what happened until now,
is that meson picked either the host binary or the "default" one from
systemd (see [1], where this is addressed).
I'd prefer to pick the default settings from systemd (favoring /usr
being self-contained), following:

-----------------
# if -Dxxx-path option is found, use that. Otherwise, check in $PATH,
# /usr/sbin, /sbin, and fall back to the default from middle column.
progs = [['quotaon',    '/usr/sbin/quotaon'    ],
         ['quotacheck', '/usr/sbin/quotacheck' ],
         ['kmod',       '/usr/bin/kmod'        ],
         ['kexec',      '/usr/sbin/kexec'      ],
         ['sulogin',    '/usr/sbin/sulogin'    ],
         ['mount',      '/usr/bin/mount',      'MOUNT_PATH'],
         ['umount',     '/usr/bin/umount',     'UMOUNT_PATH'],
         ['loadkeys',   '/usr/bin/loadkeys',   'KBD_LOADKEYS'],
         ['setfont',    '/usr/bin/setfont',    'KBD_SETFONT'],
         ['nologin',    '/usr/sbin/nologin',   ],
-----------------

Regards, Norbert
