Apologies for the delay. It looks like you need to rebuild rootlesskit
with any option you want to add, here:

  https://github.com/rootless-containers/rootlesskit/blob/e83d7635183e1125798b2928b22002dfcc4a1168/pkg/network/pasta/pasta.go#L146

because there's currently no convenient command-line mechanism like the
one implemented by Podman, here:

  https://github.com/containers/common/blob/5a4ca2d5d35571556f6e7d1d5f024c19dc482135/libnetwork/pasta/pasta_linux.go#L174

I guess it would be nice to implement something similar, but I'm not
really familiar with rootlesskit otherwise. An alternative could be to
use a trivial wrapper at /usr/local/bin/pasta, a simple script doing:

--
#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/pasta $@ --whatever-additional-option-here
--
