The referenced upstream commit will be included in systemd v255 which we will have in Noble, so for Noble this will be fixed in src:systemd directly.

The hwdb packages are tested with the following steps:

1. Enable proposed channel on the machine
2. install the systemd-hwe-hwdb in the proposed channel using:

        $ sudo apt install systemd-hwe-hwdb=<version>

2. Comfirm that the version number is the proposed one:

        $ apt policy systemd-hwe-hwdb

3. Update the hwdb and re-run things:

        $ sudo systemd-hwdb update
        $ udevadm trigger
        $ systemctl restart iio-sensor-proxy

4. Rotate the machine, and confirm that the screen doesn't rotate with the machine
