* Package name    : libpam-ssh

   Description     : Authenticate using SSH keys

This PAM module provides single sign-on behavior for SSH.
The user types an SSH passphrase when logging in and is
authenticated if the passphrase successfully decrypts the
user's SSH private key. In the PAM session phase, an ssh-agent
process is started and keys are added. For the entire session,
the user can SSH to other hosts that accept key authentication
without typing any passwords.

As much as I can see, the package is still in Debian (though removed
from Wheezy).

You shouldn't open an ITP for a package that is already in the archive.
If your intention is to adopt the package, then you should follow the
MIA process, have the package orphaned, then rename the orphaned
bug as ITA (Intention To Adopt) adopt it by uploading new versions.
And for that, there's no need for an ITP.

According to its PTS ( http://packages.qa.debian.org/libp/libpam-ssh.html ):
[2011-12-03] libpam-ssh REMOVED from testing (Britney)
[2011-12-02] Removed 1.92-14 from unstable (Alexander Reichle-Schmehl)

So the ITP is justified.

Best regards,
Jerome


Thanks for your intention to adopt this package,
Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
