Google's top hit for pam broken in sid was: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/06/msg03589.html One fix is in this post, another is in the follow-up. To run sid, you ought to be able to think up and do receovery actions like that, though bear in mind that sid is not an installable distribution because packages go "missing" at times. Were I running sid, I would not only keep backups of my own stuff, but also of all the packages that I had installed. With stable, I don't bother to backup packages, or even the OS itself except for everything I've configured/changed. Re: archlinux, from what I've read, I don't think you can make comparisons with sid. One could make lists of similarities and differences between it and testing. But Debian doesn't really have a rolling release, partly because the attention of the developers turns to bug-squashing the frozen testing before its release, usually about every couple of years.
