Put another way, you are saying that we have a "system-component" hook in the
manifest, like we do now for apparmor, desktop, etc. It is just that in this
case we don't really need to do anything else with it?

I think this makes sense, though you may have to implement a noop hook so click
doesn't error out.

I'll take a TODO to adjust the review tools for this if others agree to the idea.
