I made an attempt to move the code, but then I found a NFD/autoconfig.conf.sample file and related #2716.
It seems that nfd-start depends on autoconfig, so that it cannot be moved.
This isn't a valid reason. This dependency is optional at best. The logic should be: if the user has installed and enabled ndn-autoconfig, then start it after nfd, otherwise proceed without it. There is no requirement to have both programs in the same repository.
By the way, this is exactly the same logic implemented in the new systemd service files (#4594). nfd-start should just use systemctl to start nfd on platforms that use systemd.
