• repart - Enable support for growing/adding partitions
• resolvconf - Install resolvconf symlink for systemd-resolve
• seccomp - Enable seccomp (secure computing mode) to perform system call filtering at runtime to increase security of programs
• selinux - !!internal use only!! Security Enhanced Linux support, this must be set by the selinux profile or breakage will occur
• split-usr - Enable behavior to support maintaining /bin, /lib*, /sbin and /usr/sbin separately from /usr/bin and /usr/lib*
• ssl - Add support for SSL/TLS connections (Secure Socket Layer / Transport Layer Security)
