The installer needs to run as root, so that `systemd-repart` can write to disks. Since Weston is not running as root (since b26f59e), just as with the root terminal, we add a s6-sudod service for the installer.
Could this be conditional to the live image? Installed images don't need it.
I think currently, the only difference between a live system and an installed system is the presence of the B slot partitions. So pretty much the only solution I can think of is adding an overlay filesystem to the live image and moving the installer into that. I welcome other ideas of course.
