Package: pam
Version: 1.4.0-1

pam 1.4.0-1 changlog includes this entry:

  * Drop pam_tally and pam_tally2 modules, which have been deprecated
    upstream in favor of pam_faillock.  Closes: #569746, LP: #772121.

and correspondingly, the pam_tally and pam_tally2 tools have
disappeared from /sbin.  They were previously in the
libpam-modules-bin binary package.

faillock has a similar tool to query the database, which is present on
Fedora, but hasn't been included on Debian.  I guess that was an error
of omission.  This tool is also mentioned in the manpage of the pam
module, so it seems we really ought to include it as well.
