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.
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!

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.

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.

Default `ask` policy ignore target domain specified by the caller, so it
doesn't make sense to specify one. Provide convenient wrappers not

Since some systemd services are moved to other packages, appropriate
%post/%preun should contain the code to enable/disable them.

clock synchronization mechanism rewritten to use systemd-timesync instead of NtpDate; at the moment, requires:
- modifying /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.GetDate to redirect GetDate to designated clockvm
- enabling clocksync service in clockvm ( qvm-features clockvm-name service/clocksync true )
Works as specified in issue listed below, except for:
- each VM synces with clockvm after boot and every 6h
- clockvm synces time with the Internet using systemd-timesync
- dom0 synces itself with clockvm every 1h (using cron)

Instead of calling 'su' to switch the user, use own implementation of
this. Thanks to PAM it's pretty simple. The main reason is to have
control over process waiting for session termination (to call
pam_close_sesion/pam_end). Especially we don't want it to keep std* fds
open, which would prevent qrexec-agent from receiving EOF when one of
them will be closed.
Also, this will preserve QREXEC_AGENT_PID environment variable.

It isn't really needed. It was used to workaround libusb bug (causing
crash when the system does not have any USB controller), but since we
use HVM now which do have some USB controllers it isn't needed anymore.
Also, it is not available in stock Fedora kernels.
