Currently, we install the systemd install tree in the base image and then build the initrd and final images from the base image. This means if that any systemd package is pulled in during the initrd or final image builds, it will override our version. To fix this, we stop installing our build of systemd in the base image, and store it in the output directory instead. That allows us to refer to it using ExtraTrees= in the final and initrd image builds to install it after all the distro packages have been installed, ensuring our version always takes priority.
