By sticking an "auth sufficient" into common-auth? Sure. But then
again, I've converted libpam-opie to use pam-auth-update (#553416), so
it's no longer a problem for me.
I can't say I understand such a reluctance to simply flipping the two
chunks in pam.d/xdm, but I don't really care at this point. This will
only affect people clinging to old PAM conffiles, or sticking stuff into
them taken from a 2006 post they found on Google. Not my problem.
I'll let you and Steve figure out whether to close this report, leave it
open, or merge it with #553416.
