Note, that your current patch adds a little asymmetry.  Even if you
configure seatd to use a group different from seat, a (now useless)
seat group will be created.

There are (at least) two possible fixes for this:
1. Disable configuration for the group altogether, marking the field as
deprecated.
2. Change the field into one that accepts a group.  Also sanitize the
field so that if a string such as "seat" is provided, it is turned into
a group.  Then make seatd-accounts return this group.

Cheers
