Bug#188161: Circular dependency in essential pam packages

[Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org>]

>  * Depend on libpam-modules instead of conflicting with older versions.
>    This creates a circular dependency between libpam0g and
>    libpam-modules.  James says this works fine; we hope he's right.

I'd like to bring to your attention #188161, where it has been suggested
that it might be better if pam didn't do this.  Can you provide some details
of the situation so that perhaps we can find a different way, or if not,
justify a change in apt?
