Ahh, there is a bug in the trigger script:

%triggerin -- util-linux
if [ ! -f /bin/login.orig -a ! -L /bin/login ]; then
    mv -f /bin/login /bin/login.orig
    ln -s /bin/athena/login /bin/login
fi

Clearly this will only run if there isn't a /bin/login.orig.  This should
probably be changed to be:

%triggerin -- util-linux
if [ ! -L /bin/login ]; then
    mv -f /bin/login /bin/login.orig
    ln -s /bin/athena/login /bin/login
fi

I have _NOT_ changed the package-lists file, nor have I rebuilt
any packages.  Can someone on linux-dev please audit my suggested
change?
