If BUILD_SERVER=TRUE only builds additional things without changing
the client, I would either use MULTI_PACKAGES (not a flavor) or just
leave it as-is, a single package containing both server and client.
Either way, minetest (now being renamed luanti apparently??) would
benefit from an rc script that runs the server as an unprivileged user.
