I wonder, if sudo really needs to use cracklib, especially as libpam isn't used widely yet in login or similar programs. A solution might be to build two packages: sudo and sudo-cracklib. Or is this cracklib based sudo a move in a new, preferred direction?
The problem is dpkg-shlibdeps, since it parses ldd output, it ends up pulling in indirect dependencies too (cracklib is a dependency of libpam, not sudo). The correct solution is to use the output of objdump --private-headers, this gets only direct dependencies (there is an objdump-based dpkg-shlibdeps in the debian-dpkg list archives).
