Thanks for the comments.

1) Only the "hanger" is attached to the headrest. The rucksack then
connects to the hanger. I like the idea of a zipper.

2) This is only one way of looking at it. The reverse logic (which my
bus and van adhere to, strictly) is that if I have misplaced my
wirecutter, it will generate a problem requiring a wirecutter. If I
can't find my 10mm wrench, something will happen where I need a 10mm
wrench.

You can't fool a Vanagon.
