Bug#1094286: wtmpdb: last -N style of invocation not supported by replacement tool

[Andrew Bower <andrew@bower.uk>]

Package: wtmpdb
Version: 0.13.0-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Running, e.g. last -20, results in usage information being returned instead of
the last 20 wtmp entries as it used to with the classic last tool. One must
instead run last -n20.

We could live with this and the solution would be slightly unclean to fit in
with the getopt usage but I think it would be reasonable to expected that long
standing behaviour to be replicated. I'm tempted to propose a patch for
continuity for users upgrading to trixie.

Thanks,

Andrew
