I was aware of that. No offence intended. I apologise if you felt that way. Red Hat, SuSE, and probably most other distros, are using the default PAM config file location with no ill effects. This modification is undisputedly eccentric to Debian (and by extension Ubuntu). I could not think of any sound technical reason for making such a change in the first place, and at the same time it's fairly obvious that it was not an accident either. Whenever I stumble across «Debianisms» such as this one they are usually due to some requirement in the Debian policy, so I assumed that to be the case here too. Since Ubuntu isn't bound to the Debian policy, I was hoping that the Ubuntu packages could be changed back to the match the upstream default and established practise of using /etc/pam.d/`basename $0` as the PAM configuration file location.
