"disabling libseat integration" info in Xorg.0.log, what does it mean?

Devuan 6 + X11 + XFCE

In /var/log/Xorg.0.log i found the following message that I don't understand and that sounds concerning to me:

[  4559.714] (II) seat-libseat: libseat integration requires -keeptty and -keeptty was not provided, disabling libseat integration

Do I have to be concerned about the "disabling libseat integration" part?

Do I need seatd integration and if yes where should this "-keeptty" parameter go to enable the integration?

seatd is installed an running:

$ ps -ef|grep seat
root      2098     1  0 20:55 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/seatd -g video

A web search about this message didn't come up with anything useful.

Ok, according to the Xorg man page -keeptty is a parameter of Xorg.

In which config file would I have to set this?

Is it advisable to set this -keeptty parameter and what exactly do I gain by the libseat integration (or what do I lose by not having this integration)?

Does anyone have insight into this?
