I'm sort of backlogged a bit on PAM (will be sending mail on that
soon), so if you think it is ready for inclusion upstream now, I'd
send mail to pam-list@redhat.com.


I'm tempted to say it should be a separate package for a while to see
what problems crop up before we decide it is the standard behavior we
want.  But it does seem like a good long-term strategy for woody+1.
