s-u-u-r.s is a legacy service that will update utmp *after* all
services that constitute a sysv runlevel-lookalike have started. If
you order rc-local.service after that then you create a cyclic
dependency, because it would mean s-u-u-r.s is both before *and* after
rc-local.service and that cannot be.
