Wearing a PAM maintainer hat here, not a release team hat: What does pam-devperm do that can't also be done by one or more of: libpam-foreground, libpam-ck-connector, pam_group, or statically configuring device permissions? If the same goal can be achieved using other modules that are better maintained, wouldn't it be preferable to drop pam-devperm instead? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
