On Debian/Ubuntu getent is part of libc-bin package which is marked
essential so installed basically everywhere by default. The systemd
side meson build script was failing without it. I can try to check
if there some config etc way to disable the dependency.

Or if this causes problems then I can move this to "usage instructions"
of ukify.bbclass.
