Yeah, you can use DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " opengl" in your
local.conf if you want to do a "pure" bitbake+oe-core build.

The systemd recipe has a fairly idiomatic way of skipping packages
depending on the distro features, which will result in an message
saying the package is being skipped, and then a build failure when the
dependencies don't resolve.
