Hmm, systemd-update-utmp-runlevel.service should normally do that
implicitly. When /lib/systemd/systemd-update-utmp is called with the
"runlevel" argument then it will add the "reboot" entry if necessary
automatically, followed by the "runlevel" entry.

Are you suggesting that this automatic logic isn't working correctly?
