The main challenge for this change appeared to be lightdm:
it can do dualseat but in a quite peculiar way tied to systemd;
while wdm-based implementation well prepared and described by viy@
can survive both systemd and sysvinit just fine.
branding-alt-workstation-mate-settings pulls in lightdm-gtk-greeter,
and lightdm takes over; it should probably be masked in systemd case
(sysvinit should need no further hassle as /etc/X11/prefdm considers
wdm before lightdm for historical reasons; or /etc/sysconfig/desktop
could be filled in to be sure) *but* the current stopgap "solution"
is what it is now.

It's the common part that should be more or less architecture
independent (given enough packages in the corresponding repo)
that's been moved into a mixin; archdep bits kept in basealt.mk
(albeit rewritten).
Note that this approach should help building ALT Workstation
for both new arches (like aarch64 or mipsel) and new targets
(like vm) altogether.
"+sysvinit +systemd" looks somewhat weird,
and "+vmguest use/vmguest" is clearly a dup;
both have finally caught my eye when staring
at a long-forgotten build/reports/targets.png
for alt-workstation.iso...
NB: rider@ notes that syslogd alongside journal
tends to be problematic due to split logging
and periodic dropouts.
This has been split during the preparation of initial commit
introducing this file as indexhtml wasn't ready for release;
now the time has come to fix it (still mate-settings need to
be mentioned separately).
The distro description grew package by package
and started resembling a pile of those; let's
finally reorganize it with lists and generally
improve layout (should be no-op otherwise).
See the discussion of the changes in basealt.mk
package lists in preceding commits touching it.
This means potential iSCSI installation support
which isn't official though; having binaries handy
even if consoderable runtime configuration is need
is still better than lacking those.
How could I miss recoll even if I didn't know about solaar?
(which jumps into panel at the session startup time so let's
hold it to the available packages but not install away)

It's added to installed system and pulling 200+ megabytes into
LiveCD isn't going to help the image size; the practical limits
being tested by that were 3.0 Gb x86_64 ISO making it impossible
to fit RW partition onto 4 Gb USB Flash ("1 Gb free" test added)
and booting it on a 2 Gb RAM system without "lowmem" option would
fail on ~95% of squashfs-to-RAM loading process or so.
TL;DR: one browser in a *LiveCD* should be still enough these days.
The changes might have been a bunch of one-liners,
these have accumulated though and let these live together:
- add Chromium browser;
- add "LiveCD with sessions" (upon fixing real RO LiveCD mode);
- provide better Bluetooth support out-of-box;
- fixup services (mostly related to "KVM server" checkbox);
- use the renamed "workstation/raccess" pkglist/group;
- demote ClamAV from base component to a checkbox (off by default).
It appears to be the culprit for the "mouse fell asleep"
problem due to not-so-careful use of autosuspend against
hardware that doesn't implement that correctly.
Let the disable-usb-autosuspend hack remain though as
those wishing to enable powertop service might be helped
by that (I've seen a Logitech mouse willing to exhibit
this problem even in its presence though).
