Hi.
I think that this bug should be closed since they re-enable utmp support in
systemd.
systemd (256.6-1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Helmut Grohne ]
* salsa-ci: test the stage1 build profile
[ Simon Chopin ]
* Filter out zdev rules in the initramfs hook (LP: #2044104). s390-tools
has its own initramfs customization logic that deals with those files.
[ Luca Boccassi ]
* Re-enable utmp support, tmux's autopkgtests require it. This will
break as logind writing into utmp will wrap around, so Trixie won't be
y2038 ready after all
* New upstream version 256.6
* Note systemd-cryptsetup package split in NEWS (Closes: #1079644)

I got this same who problem with systemd 256.5-2 and it fixed downgrading
to 256.5-1. But it's working now after upgrading to 256.6-1.
