Is there a consensus now how to address this?

Right now with meson it is either a full path, or just the name in case it

autoconf allows to specify the path to a runtime binary that is not required
during build via an environment variable:
AC_PATH_PROG([PARTED], [parted], [], [$LIBVIRT_SBIN_PATH])
meson lacks such essential feature. As a result the package build environment
needs to have more packages than
