Public bug reported:
I have libpam-unix2 installed for its Blowfish password format support.
So, in /etc/pam.d I've edited common-{account,auth,password,session
,session-noninteractive} so that pam_unix2.so is used instead of
pam_unix.so.
When I upgrade packages, the libpam-runtime upgrade asks:
"Override local changes to /etc/pam.d/common-*?"
Of course I need to say yes, to receive the latest versions of those
files.
But then I have to re-integrate the config changes I need to use pam_unix2.so,
which is laborious.
Worse, accounts with Blowfish passwords are temporarily unavailable during this
time.
So, it would be handy if I could upgrade lipam-runtime without
clobbering my pam_unix2.so customizations.
I'm not sure how that could best be accomplished. It feels like Blowfish
password support is a 2nd class citizen, which seems like a shame.
