This seems ok in terms of the impact on the size of the base system (i.e.
negligible), but I wonder about the interfaces here.  Flavors have their own
individual logos, which they use for plymouth/grub themes for example.  If
we add LOGO to /etc/os-release, do we have to worry about other upstreams
picking this up and using it in other contexts where it's less appropriate,
because we want flavors to be able to customize appearance independently of
base-files?
