/var/log/btmp is a log of failed login attempts.
I'd suspect that base-files may be wrong in setting the permissions too
loosely.
The change came in logrotate 3.7.1-4. Upstream has permissions 600.
logrotate (3.7.1-4) unstable; urgency=high
* Change default logrotate.conf to use permission 660 for
/var/log/btmp. (Closes: #370050)
