Public bug reported:
The symptom is that dbus systemd-logind audit.d and other core services are
skipped for boot. The is hit only around 1%-10% of reboots.
The log message received is:

```
This issue was fixed by overriding systemd-update-utmp.service to not
include After= auditd.service
This feels like a hack and rather this was fixed upstream.
