+
+    <para>
+      The seatd package provides a universal seat management library. It is
+      what a lot of Wayland compositors use to manage seats, a session for a
+      user in which applications can interact with. It can optionally provide
+      its own seat manager as an alternative to a logind variant, but the
+      instructions provided will use it as a shim, which <phrase
+      revision="sysv">e</phrase>logind <phrase revision="systemd"> from <xref
+      linkend="systemd"/></phrase> will be the underlying seat manager.
