I am truly sorry that you are being bothered by the changes in the
new Debian version of libpam-ssh.

The story is that the new version of libpam-ssh will look for keys in
$HOME/.ssh/login-keys.d/, and only there.  I implemented that
functionality after a discussion on the debian-devel mailing list [1]
and an announcement on pam mailing list (with no response).  Since then,
the new version of libpam-ssh has been available in experimental, and
because I have had no complaints about it so far, I have uploaded it to
unstable.

Personally I think the new setup is better because it relieves the
administrator from doing any special setup for users, while at the same
time enabling individual users to use as many keys as they like (cf
[3]).  But maybe libpam-ssh should look for the same set as key as ssh
does in addition to $HOME/.ssh/login-keys.d/ ?

A. Because it breaks the logical sequence of discussion.
Q. Why is top posting bad?
