Missing /etc/pam.d/passwd

[Markus.Grunwald@pruftechnik.com]

Hello,

On one of my debian testing machines, the /etc/pam.d/passwd is missing:

gru@PT-AGCMLX1 >ls -1 /etc/pam.d/
apache2
...
common-account
common-auth
common-password
common-session
...
other
ppp
samba
...
xscreensaver

The passwd package is installed:

gru@PT-AGCMLX1 >dpkg -l passwd | egrep ^ii
ii  passwd         4.0.14-4       change and administer password and group 
dat

It should contain the /etc/pam.d/passwd file:

gru@PT-AGCMLX1 >dpkg -L passwd | grep pam\.d
/etc/pam.d
/etc/pam.d/passwd
/etc/pam.d/chfn
/etc/pam.d/chsh

But even after I do "aptitude reinstall passwd", nothing changes...
What is wrong there ? 
It doesn't seem to cause any errors since I can use the passwd command as 
usual...
Oh, and before you ask: I know that the file just contains "@include 
common-password", but I would like to know why the file is missing...

Best regards,
