It looks like the upload that reverted these changes was a botched attempt at
orphaning the package.  Bug #303198, however, is currently titled "RFA", not
"O".  Joerg, was your intention here to continue maintaining pam-pgsql until
someone else comes along to do so, or were you trying to orphan the package
immediately so that you're no longer responsible for it?

If it is indeed the maintainer's intention to orphan this package, I
would recommend removing it from sarge on account of the progressive
security issues.
