Assigning myself to this one just to make sure it's done correctly. I'll probably review it in a couple of weeks once I'm back from a trip FYI

Meson automatically adds a tmpfile to create the sync/config dir at /var/lib/noctalia-greeter/, but hardcodes it to the greeter user instead of greetd. See https://github.com/noctalia-dev/noctalia-greeter/blob/main/PACKAGING.md#tmpfilesd

I used this on my local install:

 rm -f %(installroot)%(tmpfilesdir)/noctalia-greeter.conf
 %tmpfiles 'd /var/lib/noctalia-greeter 0750 greetd greetd -'
