Where did you place the configuration for /var/log/wtmp ?
I. dpkg should ask if you had created a file /etc/logrotate.d/wtmp
Configuration file '/etc/logrotate.d/wtmp'
==> File on system created by you or by a script.
==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** wtmp (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?
II. dpkg should also ask If you had modified /etc/logrotate.conf
Configuration file '/etc/logrotate.conf'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.

III. logrotate should refuse to rotate /var/log/wtmp and exit non-zero
if you had created a different file, resulting in a duplicate
configuration
error: wtmp_local:1 duplicate log entry for /var/log/wtmp
error: found error in file wtmp_local, skipping
