pam_console should never enter Debian. If you search the archives for
this list a little bit, you shold be able to find the explanation why.
One good message is:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2001/debian-devel-200106/msg00944.html
Unless this has been addressed, which I don't think it has, the
security team will oppose inclusion of pam_console.
