Thanks to both of you for the test re-builds.

The only remaining query I had was regarding the libpam-cap split-off
and how to handle the fact that people upgrading with the automatic
installation of Recommends disabled will lose the PAM module during the
upgrade.  I don't think there's any realistic way to find out how many
such users there are in testing or stable without exposing them to the
changes; the more interesting and important question is how many of
those people are actually using the PAM module.
