I'm still attempting to keep all of the networking and
infrastructure dependencies
for the runtimes by variable, even if there's less flexibility now.

That being said, podman's networking is typically provided by network which
is what the profile's have for that selection.

This sort of falls into a "support utility" category,  and in that case, it
would be
better in the podman recipe itself, under a "rootless" packagecconrfig
option.

If there needs to be coordination between multiple recipes and packages to
make rootless work, then it could be promoted to a distro or image feature
and then the podman packageconfig could trigger off of that.
