Thank you very much for this advice! Now I can build correctly for Ubuntu.

 It looks like the example given makes more sense starting from 'seat0'

I've just updated the description text at Launchpad page. Take a look now.

Instead of tagging your devices manually in udev rules (except for
master-of-seat tag), try using loginctl to handle them:

    loginctl seat-status seat0 (gives you the list of available devices for
seat assignment)

    loginctl attach seatFoo /sys/devices/... (assigns a device to seat
"seatFoo". You can create a new seat just assing a master-of-seat device to
it).
