We don't have any concept of launchers setting environment variables,
and generally daemons don't look for config in the env. They read
e.g. $prefix/etc/pcscd/pcscd.conf. (FWIW, my take on best practices is
that the defaults make sense so that many people do not need a config
file, so that it is normal for that file to be missing if one intends to
be default.)
Should this be conditional on HAVE_SYSTEMD? It seems like a systemd
special case rather than broader practice.
For pkgsrc, I have just patched the install out of the meson file.
