Possibly unneeded Meson dependency for Seurat-5.0.1 : ../at-spi2-core-2.46.0/bus/meson.build:83:2: ERROR: Dependency "libsystemd" not found

[rlpitts]

Upon attempting to install from the current easyconfig for Seurat-5.0.1, I get the following error:
../at-spi2-core-2.46.0/bus/meson.build:83:2: ERROR: Dependency "libsystemd" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake
I took this to Slack and was advised that this dependency may not be needed, and therefore the suggested fix was to change this flag in the meson_options.txt file to false:
option('use_systemd', description: 'Use systemd if available (needed for dbus-broker)', type: 'boolean', value: true)
At the moment I don't know how one does this temporarily from within an easyconfig or easyblock, or else I would have opened a PR instead. The mesonninja.py easyblock makes it look possible to set it via configopts, possibly at the command line, but the Seurat easyconfig contains no references to Meson at all, as far as I can see.

I was then told that at-spi2-core-2.46.0 has its own easy config, which I can't modify in situ, but which could potentially be modified as a copy if I knew how to phrase the change. Sorry, this is all quite far from my competence area.
