Minor note, also not using systemd (or udev, for that matter), but out of
curiosity, I checked my x86_64 system and I don't have a /lib/systemd
directory.  Looks like everything is in /usr/lib/systemd instead.  So, this
might be a good item to document somewhere (possibly the wiki), so people
aren't confused and add the wrong directories to INSTALL_MASK (or other
relevant variables)
