util-linux upstream provides three binary objects to be built:
- liblastlog2.so
- pam_lastlog2.so
- lastlog2 (program)
Debian's PAM policy says to put PAM modules into their own package,
thus libpam-lastlog2. liblastlog2.so would go into the
liblastlog2(-0) package. The lastlog2 program either into its own
lastlog2 package, or elsewhere.

No, I did not consider this, as I wasn't aware of any
implementations for this. Does u-l upstream ship such a service?
