Title:
  Monthly cron generates error if wtmp hasn't been rotated

Status in acct package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in acct package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  The logrotate config for wtmp on focal looks like this:

  # no packages own wtmp -- we'll rotate it here
  /var/log/wtmp {
      missingok
      monthly
      create 0664 root utmp
      minsize 1M
      rotate 1
  }

  It only rotates if wtmp is larger than 1M. In the case of a fresh
  install that has a wtmp smaller than 1M it won't rotate and
  /var/log/wtmp.1 won't exist, in this case we should use /var/log/wtmp

  I've attached a patch.
