Then I'm lost. I thought a major goal of this effort was to pacify 
Debian installation procedures for coreutils on limited installations 
that don't have libsystemd installed. If Debian installation procedures 
are OK with coreutils as-is, then let's not change how Debian configures 
readutmp, as ordinary dynamic linking is good enough. And if they're not 
OK with coreutils as-is, then that's the static checking I was referring 
to ("static" because it checks "who" before "who" starts running).
