I updated my Git repository such that it now contains pam 1.3.1, the
changes from the previous NMUs, your changes and additional small
changes to address some of the lintian warnings.

Yes, I'm interested in having an up-to-date pam in Debian. Over the last
two years or so, I've just installed pam through other means to get the
latest upstream versions. So if I instead spend time to keep the package
updated, that would actually be more useful.

I haven't really looked at the available options to get the changes
uploaded. So any pointers would be welcomed. :-)
