I don't think this really aids us here – it instead lets us ask who is
a "libseat user".  Perhaps you want to specify "login managers" like
greetd or gdm/sddm/etc. explicitly here?  Also, (when) do regular users
have to be in the seat group?

Note ‘eq?’ groups here.  In other words, you should be able to take a
group (not just a group name) for the group field, sanitize the field
so that it will always be a group, and then use that group in seatd-
accounts (see the second option mentioned in
<79341a82bf9cd5fc6c2227255095f3fe2927dcbe.camel@ist.tugraz.at>).  If
for instance instead of seat, you wanted the video group, you would
have to take the one from %base-groups, rather than creating a new one.
