Bug#1129535: sysvinit-core: please restore "last" from sysvinit

Package: sysvinit-core
Version: 3.14-4
Severity: wishlist

In trixie, the venerable "last" utility has been retired from util-linux,
in favour of a younger one (that by the way brings in two extra packages,
but I digress).

What about resurrecting the one from src:sysvinit?

It builds and works like a charm, but is not packaged in sysvinit-utils
because it's listed in debian/not-installed.  It might be just an
update-alternatives(1) away from being useful.

Best regards,
	g.
