Yeah, but what are the runtimes themselves made of? LFS? Some RPM/deb-based collection of software? How do I repackage runtimes?

The runtimes themselves are some container image format, usually ostree, but fedora uses OCI in some cases. The packages do tend to come from the normal packaging ecosystem of whatever distro provides it. I think the freedesktop sdk might use yocto.
