Bug#1111973: release-notes: Release notes suggest to delete /var/log/lastlog*, which seems required by opensshd

In my opinion, this bug deserves more attention, as it might be relevant 
for security:

If configured with "PrintLastLog yes" (the default), openssh-server 
checks /var/log/lastlog. It prints a *LastLogin: Date from IP* message 
in the post-login banner. Deprecation of lastlog functionality in Debian 
13 Trixie effectively disables the LastLogin notice. Discussion should 
focus around the functionality, i.e. whether or not future 
openssh-server editions should *provide an option to display the last 
login in the banner*. The option name *PrintLastLog *refers to its 
implementation (i.e. inspection of /var/log/lastlog), which is 
unfortunate. If the functionality was to be continued, it should be 
renamed to *PrintLastLogin *(or similar). But most importantly, it would 
have to find another source of information, like the journal.

Therefore, I believe that *countless workaround proposals *found on the 
internet *hide rather than address the problem*. Creating an empty 
/var/log/lastlog might keep openssh-server quiet about not finding the 
file, but it surely will not supply any information about the last user 
login. The same ist true for attempts to stop those messages from 
appearing in the journal.
