[PAM] Should `ssh' depend on `libpwdb'?



I think I remember reading in one of these mailing lists that the PAM
`libpwdb' is deprecated, and should not be used, since it bypasses the 
normal "nsswitch" mechanism in glibc.  Is this true?

I tried to uninstall it, but found that `ssh' and `ssh2' depend on it.
Shouldn't they be configured to use the normal "unix" auth plugins?
Is this a "bug" against `ssh' and `ssh2'?  (Should I file it?)
