This doesn't seem like arbitrary directories at all, but rather very |
| 12 |
targeted at specific systemd locations. It is not clear which, if any, |
| 13 |
of the mentioned locations are needed by udev. |

I have found one of my machines which was created not that many years |
| 16 |
ago have an even more overzealous mask, which was probably arrived at |
| 17 |
by reading some forum thread. |

INSTALL_MASK="/usr/lib/systemd /etc/systemd /lib/systemd |
| 20 |
/usr/lib/modules-load.d" |

Someone mentioned /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd earlier, is this a binary |
| 23 |
that is needed? |
