Well, that explains why you are getting the warning message...
Now the question is why those lines exist in the files (and in both of
them, to boot)?
The wierd thing is that this setting seems to be needed *on Buster* to
return the behavior back to previous behavior -- but since you are
running Stretch, it's not clear why those lines exist in the config
files...
What do you get from these commands?:
$ ls -l /etc/login.defs /etc/default/su
$ dpkg -S /etc/login.defs
$ dpkg -S /etc/default/su
$ apt-cache policy login
