Hi, rkt has a compilation option to choose whether to pick binaries (systemd, bash) from the host at run-time (aka "flavour host") or to provide it itself at build-time (aka "flavour coreos", downloading the pre-compiled binaries from CoreOS or "flavour src", compiling the binaries from systemd sources). More descriptions on each flavors on: https://github.com/coreos/rkt/blob/master/Documentation/build-configure.md#--with-stage1-flavors In the Debian packaging, only the "flavour host" is compiled because most other flavors would not comply with the "Convenience copies of code" Debian policy: 4.13 Convenience copies of code https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html
