I attach a patch that might allow radlast to function in trixie by
importing the wtmp file to a temporary wtmpdb database.

Perhaps this could be accompanied by a NEWS entry advising users that
this is a transitionary solution for trixie giving them plenty of time
to sort out a replacement solution.

I am afraid I cannot confirm that this works for FreeRADIUS
specifically but would be happy to help out with any issues.
