acct (6.6.4-9) unstable; urgency=medium
The settings that used to be defined in /etc/default/acct to control
enablement and log rotation for process accounting are no longer used.
ACCT_ENABLE was already ignored by the systemd integration but now it
is ignored in all cases and, when required, the service should be disabled
directly with the service manager using update-rc.d acct disable.
Process accounting files are now rotated by logrotate. Rotation is
configured in /etc/logrotate.d/acct and ACCT_LOGGING is ignored.

acct (6.6.4-6) unstable; urgency=medium
The login accounting tool 'ac' is no longer effective on Debian systems
since trixie because of the transition from recording system login records
in /var/log/wtmp to the wtmpdb database. The tools in this package only
understand login records in the utmp(5) format used for /var/log/wtmp and
not wtmpdb databases. They can still be used for forensic purposes
against files from systems that do store utmp-format logs.
The process accounting capabilities of this package are still functional.
It is recommended to install the 'wtmpdb' and 'libpam-wtmpdb' packages for
login accounting on the running system.
