Util-linux installs the write program sgid to the tty group. In order to
use this program, however, /etc/login.defs needs one modification.

TTYPERM         0600
needs to be
TTYPERM         0620

Since we already sed login.defs during its installation, I propose
adding this to the sed. Any objections?

No, this default simply means "please don't clobber my screen". A person who wants to receive messages must run "mesg y".

Of course, this default and the possibility to change it can be explained in the book. I do object to silently changing the default.
