Bug description:
  Hello, after upgrading to focal I found the following in my journalctl
  output:

  Jan 24 23:07:00 millbarge sudo[32120]: pam_unix(sudo:auth): Couldn't open /etc/securetty: No such file or directory
  Jan 24 23:07:01 millbarge sudo[32120]: pam_unix(sudo:auth): Couldn't open /etc/securetty: No such file or directory

  
  The login package stopped packaging this file:
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=731656
  and now forcibly removes the file:
  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/myh9cGWrHD/

  However, the pam package's pam_unix.so module has not yet been adapted to ignore this file:
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674857#25

  Thanks
