/var/run/utmp is created by init at bootup, and so in the next init version there'll be a check to see if the utmp group is present in /etc/group and if so the permissions on /var/run/utmp will be 664 group utmp. But /var/log/wtmp and /var/log/lastlog don't belong to a package - how do we make sure the permissions on those files get changed? Should base-files take care of that ?
