Package: pam-shield
Version: 0.9.2-3.2
Severity: important

pam_shield.cron never gets run by run-parts since '.' is illegal in cron
filenames. In turn this means that shield-purge does not get run and then,
presumably, stale shield rules don't get flushed.

The effect of this, though I did not try it in the real world, should be that
it becomes possibly to lock oneself out of a system until the next reboot.

Because I'm not able to test that part I have filed with severity important,
but you should consider increasing it to serious if you agree with my
reasoning.

Any fix for this for Wheezy will have to go through testing-proposed-updates,
and indeed we should fix it if possible.
