I applied your patch, and it broke everything.  Shame on me for not
testing, but I think your analysis is wrong.  As far as I can tell
dh_quilt_patch sets QUILT_PATCHES from QUILT_PATCH_DIR, which is what
pam's debian/rules sets.

In particular, your patch causes dh_quilt_patch to think there are no
patches and to apply no patches.

All this mess will go away with the PAM 1.5.3 packaging: I'm moving to a
normal debian/patches and dpkg will handle things.

Can I get you to look at this in more depth and help me understand

1) Whether the buildhs in unstable are really broken (I think they are
not)

2) What was broken about your builds that caused you to raise the issue.
