+      This results in a boot error, as the `/var/lib/sshd` directory
+      is only mounted _after_ the stage 2 init and with it the system
+      activation. `agenix` needs the sshd hostkey however to decrypt the
+      secrets and thus we have to ensure that this directory is mounted
+      _before_ the system activation. Alas the only way I see to achieve
+      that is to store the ssh hostkey directly on /srv, which is mounted
+      before (it's marked as 'neededForBoot' after all).
+
+      It should be possible to achieve this with impermanence however,
+      as `/var/log` is mounted in the stage 1 init; The problem is that
+      I have no idea _why_ only this is mounted and nothing else.
