You try and avoid that. ;)

Can firewalld just add them conditionally somehow ?
Or detect cockpit somehow and dynamically add them?
Adding distribution/package/spin or flavour specific configuration in
the firewalld code is not what I want to have. This could make behaviour
and/or code analysis a hard task or impossible.

ugh.
I suppose rolekit could make these changes when it enables roles?
I would say a role in rolekit could do this.

You should not and cannot change files in other packages from your
package, thats just a bad idea.
I suggest to have configuration sub packages for server installs versus
configuration sub packages for the normal installation.

Yeah, I think we are all still theoretical? Or did we put in an initial
kickstarts? We should do that soon...
