Package: login Version: 1:4.1.5.1-1 Severity: wishlist securetty dates back to the days when people still logged into systems via telnet and rlogin. These days, remote access occurs via SSH, which has its own configuration mechanism to determine whether to allow root logins (including more flexible approaches such as disallowing root logins by password but allowing them by key). And any local TTY should be considered a securetty by definition. Thus, I don't think securetty has any value anymore as part of the default configuration of login. I would suggest removing it by default.
