Some applications complains if compiled version of dconf database is
missing ("dconf-WARNING **: unable to open file '/etc/dconf/db/local':
Failed to open file '/etc/dconf/db/local': open() failed: No such file
or directory; expect degraded performance").
There is only one entry in that database, but generate its binary
version anyway to avoid that warning message.
The dconf call is already included in package scripts, now only make
sure the utility is really installed.

The /etc/dconf/profile/user file in some distributions is part of dconf
package, in some not. There are even cases where it changes between
package versions (Fedora 27 don't have it, but Fedora 28 do).
Also, base Debian Stretch don't have it, but Kali Linux based on it do.
To avoid overly complex dependency handling, create the file dynamically
on package installation if it's missing in that particular case. The
file content is canonical:
user-db:user
system-db:local

- BACKEND_VMM may not be available as env variable (mock build), provide
it explicitly
- 'user' group may not exists at package build time, set it at package
installation
Since we have proper python package, use it instead of hacky one-file
package. This will ease installation and packaging, including switching
to python3.
The dconf package isn't required by qubes-core-agent - the package ships
a configuration for it, useful if user have it installed for other
reasons. Don't try to rebuild dconf database if dconf isn't installed -
avoid misleading error message.

Update dom0 about all applications installed, not only desktop files for
them. Update also supported features and other things advertised
initially at template installation.

GNOME automatically set scaling factor to 2 when HiDPI is detected.
Unfortunately it does it also on not really HiDPI displays, making the
whole UI unusably large. There is no middle ground - scaling factor must
be integer, so 1.5 is not supported. Lets opt on a conservative side and
fallback to scaling factor 1.
Solution by @alyssais, thanks!

It is more robust, especially handle "# Units below this line will be
re-preset on package upgrade" part of 75-qubes-vm.preset file. This is
needed to fix system configuration without the need to rebuild the whole
template.

If IPv6 is configured in the VM, and it is providing network to others,
apply IPv6 firewall similar to the IPv4 one (including NAT for outgoing
traffix), instead of blocking everything. Also, enable IP forwarding for
IPv6 in such a case.

Debian stretch in default configuration calls apt-get update every 24h.
And additionally, have automatic unattended security updates enabled.
Generally it would be good thing on standalone system, but in AppVM
which loose its rootfs changes after restart it is a waste of resources.
Especially when it kicks in on multiple VMs simultaneously, while on
battery (apt-daily.service have ConditionACPower=true, but VM don't have
that information...).
It would make some sense on TemplateVM/StandaloneVM, but then it kicks
in just at VM startup. Which conflicts with starting the update manually
then (by clicking "update VM" button in manager for example, or using
salt).
So, disable this feature completely.
The actual solution is based on pkg-manager-no-autoupdate by @adrelanos.

If root filesystem is the last partition (new layout), resize it
in-place. Use 'parted' tool because it can resize just one partition,
without need to specify the whole new partition table. Since the
partition is mounted, parted is unhappy to modify it. Force it by
answering to its interactive prompts, and add (apparently not
documented) ---pretend-input-tty to use those answers even
though stdin is not a tty. Split the operation into multiple parted
calls, for more reliable interactive prompts handling.
Qubes 3.x disk layout (no partition table) is also supported, but the
one that was used in Qubes 4.0 rc1 (root filesystem as the first
partition) is not.
