The patch isn't the hard part. Honestly, I think splitting into a separate package is a lot lower risk than removing, but if we do that, we presumably need to have libpam-modules depend on that package for a release cycle. I'd definitely take a patch against the wip/debian_1.5.3 patch to split out the module into its own package and to add a dependency from libpam-modules to that new package. (and then we would want to remove that dependency in the next release). Anything more disruptive requires me to think a lot. I'd rather not focus my energy on that, but I am open to being convinced. I am not tracking your involvement in projects that want to reduce the pseudo-essential set. Is this a nice to have for you, or are you heavily involved in something with broad consensus where this is important. --Sam
