> Could you please clarify this situation for Impish, or ideally provide
a debdiff as you did for the other series? Thanks!

After looking into linux-source in impish, I can determine that it
should be safe removing the modalias names. The reply saying that it had
regression was my mistake.

Bug description:
  This hwdb update is to avoid unwanted screen rotation when tilting the
  laptop.

  This is the update to the previously rolled back SRU LP: #1938259

  [Impact]

   * This fixes unwanted rotations on certain Dell clamshell laptop
  models with accelerometer.

  [Test Plan]

   * On Dell laptops with model SKU 0A36, 0A3E, 0B09, 0B0B, 0B0D, 0B11, install this package and ensure the kernel is updated to the latest.
   * Screen should be correct side up in login screen and desktop.
   * Tilt the laptop and the screen should not be rotated.

  [Where problems could occur]

   * This is to add parameters for certain models in hwdb, and does not
  affect any other part of systemd.

   * Only models with the same Dell SKU would be affected.

  [scope]

  this is needed for all releases

  this is being added to upstream by
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20314 and
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20661
