Deleting the directory causes portage to forget about it and its
contents.  This means you have orphaned files in your build, which could
have any number of adverse effects on your final product.  Luckily,
pam-login is fairly simple, so this isn't that damaging.

If you are getting a blocker in stage1, you should do one of two things
*only*:

1.  Edit your seed stage, by using emerge to merge/unmerge packages
2.  Edit your snapshot

Things that you should *never* do include trying to modify USE flags,
catalyst files, or editing anything in /var/db, as all of these can
produce unexpected results in your end product.
