[ptxdist] Can SYSTEMD_HELPER be changed persistently?

[Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk>]

Hi,

This is really just a minor inconvenience.  I am not using systemd in a 
project, but every time I do an 'oldconfig' operation, the configuration 
system asks if I want to select SYSTEMD_HELPER, i.e.:

---------------------------------------------------------------
Updating 'myproject/configs/ptxconfig'...
info: successfully migrated 
'/path/to/ptxdist/projects/myproject/configs/ptxconfig'

*
* Restart config...
*
*
* systemd
*
systemd                        (SYSTEMD_HELPER) [N/m/y/?] (NEW)
#
# configuration written to .config
#
---------------------------------------------------------------

The ptxconfig file contains the line:

# PTXCONF_SYSTEMD_HELPER is not set

As an experiment, I tried setting the SYSTEMD_HELPER to all three states 
in turn (not set, m, and y), but the next 'oldconfig' operation always 
ignores the current setting and asks for the new setting.

I'm currently using ptxdist release 2024.03.0 but I guess this problem 
will have first appeared in release 2023.11.0.
