Still would be nice to have yes.

I see two RUN in the 71-seat.rules and the loginctl one is used to lock 
the session in case a keylogger is inserted while the machine is booted, 
is it a problem if the command fails? The other one is udevadm, isn't 
this one already in the initramfs?

Looking at fedora, I see that they are copying the following rules:

     inst_rules \
         70-uaccess.rules \
         71-seat.rules \
         73-seat-late.rules \
         90-vconsole.rules \
         99-systemd.rules

but indeed they are also installing the loginctl apparently (and 
systemd-sysctl for 99-systemd.rules).

Cheers,
