Dear Maintainer(s),

As you probably have noticed due to the time_t64 transition, we have
been busy getting the distribution ready for the year 2038 32bit time_t
wraparound issue.

Due to this problem, utmp is no longer safe to use and it is on the way
out. For more details on this matter, you can see the blogs of SUSE, as
their developers have been doing all the heavy lifting:

https://microos.opensuse.org/blog/2023-09-28-replace-utmp-with-logind/

The tmux package has one autopkgtest that relies on utmp. This stops us
from being able to turn off utmp support in logind, and switch on its
replacement. When you have time, could you please
revisit/modify/disable this test, so that we can proceed?

Example failing run:

Thanks!
