On my side, I got fooled by reading too fast:
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libpam-ssh&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

The package is in SID, but only on few arch.

Which makes me wonder: WHY ? How does such things happen?
Is this because such ports aren't part of official Debian anymore?
