By accident (I just run 'script -c screen' to debug something for
someone else) I saw that GNU screen on trixie outputs:

	/etc/screenrc: unknown command 'deflogin'
	/etc/screenrc: bind: unknown command 'login'

This does not happen on bullseye. The manpage documents these
commands so they haven’t generally been removed.

This is expected as screen on trixie is built without utempter
support.

Best,
