Sorry I don't recall, but I think I created it myself.

AFAICT, yes.

Given the following:

    $ for i in /usr/*bin/*.exe; do  strings $i | fgrep -q wtmp; if [ $?  -eq 0 ]; then echo $i; fi; done
    /usr/bin/emacs-21.2.exe
    /usr/bin/emacs-nox.exe
    /usr/bin/emacs.exe
    /usr/bin/last.exe
    /usr/bin/rxvt.exe
    /usr/bin/users.exe
    /usr/bin/who.exe
    /usr/sbin/in.ftpd.exe
    /usr/sbin/in.rlogind.exe
    /usr/sbin/in.telnetd.exe
    /usr/sbin/in.uucpd.exe
    /usr/sbin/proftpd.exe
    /usr/sbin/sshd.exe

I'm not sure what package should be responsible for creating
/var/log/wtmp.
