Package: libpam-wtmpdb
Version: 0.72.0-2
Severity: normal
Affects: openssh-server

I'm considering enabling the native wtmpdb support in OpenSSH 10.0, 
because it provides better information in "wtmpdb last": it records the 
correct tty rather than just "ssh".  However, if I do that at the 
moment, I end up with duplicate entries in "wtmpdb last":

  cjwatson pts/2        fd42:85b1:6650:a Fri Apr 11 11:52 - still logged in
  cjwatson ssh          fd42:85b1:6650:a Fri Apr 11 11:52 - still logged in

I'd like to arrange for the less-informative "ssh" one to be skipped.  
This can be done by adding "skip_if=sshd" to libpam_wtmpdb's options, 
and 
https://build.opensuse.org/projects/Linux-PAM/packages/wtmpdb/files/wtmpdb.spec 
shows that openSUSE is configuring it that way (thanks to Chris 
Hofstaedtler for pointing that out).  Should we do the same in Debian's 
libpam-wtmpdb package, or is there a way to do it entirely in 
openssh-server somehow?

Thanks,
