That is to be seen. I think libwtmpdb does not at this point provide
a stable ABI, so I'd avoid linking against it.

I got the feeling RH might come up with something else, or maybe
wtmpdb will be good enough for everyone after all.

Providing initscripts would IMO be sensible; for systemd wmptdb
provides two .service files as integration. OTOH maybe recording
boots is not such an important feature.
