What's Changed
Version 1.5.0 introduces some highlight features like:
- additional-packages flag in create, to directly add packages during init

- Now removing a distrobox, it will un-export apps and binaries exported by it
- Init is now more flexible in how it adds packages, allowing for greater compatibility
- Init supports now systemd containers using --additional-packages systemd during creation
- General reliability improvements, lots of bug fixes and QoL
