Hehe.  Is there a better upstream source for the package?

Perhaps time to wrap up a new release with all the patches in place?

Note, the Debian package got some security fixes for the pam_prompt()
and pam_syslog() handling.  Check the source via
<URL: http://packages.qa.debian.org/libp/libpam-unix2.html >.  You might
want to include them too in a new release.
