You haven't said what version it's backported from, and you've applied it
against the sarge version of the pam package.  This patch is useless to me;
PAM is currently at 0.79 in etch, and I don't have any intention of trying
to merge more individual patches from upstream into the Debian package when
the patch set is already thoroughly unwieldly.

If you can tell me the provenance of the patch, I can consider targetting an
appropriate upstream version for etch instead.
