Related to that is
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=887852

systemd upstream removed the uaccess bits, as they install /dev/kvm with
0666 permissions by default, claiming this would be safe nowadays.

See
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/5597
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/b8fd3d82205f632ce001fade74fed287e1564a1a

I think long term it would be best if the udev package setups up the
correct permissions for /dev/kvm, the question is whether we follow the
upstream default and make /dev/kvm 0666 or we chose 0640 (root:kvm) and
revert the bits from b8fd3d82205f632ce001fade74fed287e1564a1a to re-add
the uaccess tag.


Thoughts, Preferences?
