      <parameter>-Dman=false</parameter>: This switch prevents the build

      and install the man pages.

      <parameter>-Dsystemd_user_services=false</parameter>: This switch prevents
      the build process from installing systemd user services since they are
      useless on SysV systems.

      <command>meson configure -Ddebug=true</command>: This command enables
      some debug checks necessary for the test suite.  We don't want to
      enable them for the installed Tracker 3 libraries and programs, so
      we run the test suite after installation.
