Which bug report did you file against xterm, proposing to remove utmp? I see a bug for wtmp (which Sven responded to, pointing out that xterm uses libutempter), but don't see any followup to ensure that libutempter was updated and made to work with systemd. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?archive=both;dist=unstable;ordering=normal;repeatmerged=0;src=libutempter -- Thomas E.
