I don't really know what are you pointing at. Shadow will install "su"
binary without PAM at all. You won't have any "su" executable in /tools
though since no package installs it anymore. You could try and install
shadow in there if you really need it, but imho, package users is really
terrible packaging method. I think Fernando uses paco or something like
that, and that sounds more elegant to me.
