It sounds as if you did changing over of wtmp and utmp correctly. I however did not. I actually touched wtmp and copied /dev/null to utmp before I rebooted my newly install hamm for the first time. This gave me garbage for last. So I redid the steps pointed out by the upgrade FAQ, and rebooted for safe measure. Last works fine now.
One thing I noted, and I am not sure if this is how it shoul actually work, but when I am logged in as root, last has several entries, but when I am logged in as a user, it only shows a couple if any at all. --Jay Barbee > I have 4 machines running Debian, three of which I have upgraded to 2.0 > (hamm) from 1.3.1 using autoup.sh.
