Hi Peter

I've filed https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/6235 in the mean
time. Upstream now rightfully wants to know, why the file has to be
0664 root:utmp. I don't know the reason for that.

Peter, could you ask the base-files maintainer why the file is created
with those permissions:
https://sources.debian.net/src/base-files/10/debian/postinst.in/#L95

If you have an answer, you can also directly follow-up upstream.

Regards,
Michael
