Much too late for slink, which is the topic under discussion.

I'm not *personally* concerned, but I think that having everyone who
upgrades from hamm to slink suddenly start getting cryptic daily emails
from cron is a bad idea. Fortunately, there has been a new upload of
pam to slink, so the problem is already solved.
"Minimal" overhead is a relative thing, however; for a small server
which can't even *hope* to run X, for example, the overhead of a
cracklib dependency could be quite noticable.
