The issue seems to come from this:

> inetutils (2:2.6-2) unstable; urgency=medium
> 
>   * Enable libsystemd support to restore utmp functionality in
>     syslogd and talkd, on systems running systemd.


utmp functionality seems broken on Ubuntu, as shown by the error messages 
during the autopkgtest:
>  284s Nov  5 14:53:26 autopkgtest syslogd: /dev/sshd: No such file or 
> directory

Running the same tests locally:
> Nov 12 09:26:17 x1c syslogd: /dev/seat0: No such file or directory

It seems that something is trying to attach to other sessions during the
utmp test (utmp: "keep track of all logins and logouts to the system").
I wonder why that test passes on Debian but not on Ubuntu.

Maybe we do something differently, and utmp should be disabled on
Ubuntu. Maybe that is an upstream bug or an Ubuntu bug.

More investigation is needed, working with upstream:
