Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Files, scripts and directories to run the system with a read-only root filesystem with nested writable /etc BTRFS subvolume. This package should never be installed in an already running system! It should only be selected by a system role for a read-only root filesystem with transactional updates. The package will create / modify entries for mounting /etc and /var. Those entries are used by dracut to mount the overlay file systems during the early boot phase.
