The available version (1.5.3-6+hurd.1) is largely enough for 0.99.7.1, I
don't think it's a question of "newer login, passwd and util-linux".

Note the subtle difference between "is not going to be installed" and
"is not installable". The latter means there is no available version at
all, while libpam-modules=1.5.3-6+hurd.1 is installable, from

deb http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ unreleased main
