When I login to my Ubuntu 13.04 beta2 (std Unity) session, after I enter the password, there is a deferral of some seconds which is not there on my 12.04. LTS partition.

Can this be related to the dmesg output: 

[   37.101723] systemd-logind[2350]: New seat seat0.
[   37.101785] systemd-logind[2350]: Failed to save seat data for seat0: No such file or directory

and if so, what does it mean? I tried to google that lines but could not find any helpful references.

Using aptitude gave me the following information:

aptitude search systemd

For me, I removed the libsystemd-login0 package and rebooted. I know it is a login manager but my system it is still running. Also I find this odd since I thought upstart was the alternative to systemd. Anyway just do the following:

sudo apt-get remove libsystemd-login0

It gave me about a 1 to 2 second freeze until I removed the package. If it is going to be needed in the future, I will leave it like that until the time comes when another package needs it. You can find more info about the move to systemd in this Phoronix article.

UPDATE: Comparing your aptitude list to mine I would ask you to reinstall/install the following packages:

sudo aptitude reinstall libsystemd-daemon0 systemd-services systemd-shim

sudo aptitude install libsystemd-id128-0 libsystemd-journal0 python-systemd

This will leave you exactly like I am right now:

Don't mind the c state for the login package. I just did not delete the configuration files after removing the package. If the freezing still shows then I created an bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shadow/+bug/1167642
