Bug#756109: systemd: Please copy 70-uaccess.rules and 71-seat.rules in the initramfs

Yes, the rules are being executed on all devices later on, though
systemd-udev-trigger.service (usually dubbed "coldplugging").

IMHO putting logind into the initrd would just be plain wrong and
bloat. That is not the initrd's job.

That said, adding only 71-seat.rules to the initrd seems okay to me,
even though it smells like a workaround. Is that sufficient for
plymouth's needs?

Please not. It already gets run during boot, so it's again just
redundant and bloat for the initrd stage.
