IMO this issue is fixed in newer Windows builds, I suggest upgrading
your underlying Windows system to avoid having problems with case
insensitivity of the file system.
Since the PAM man page is present for long years and capital letters in
man names are not exactly rare I don't think this should be fixed based
on just the presence of the capital letters:
$ apt-file search man/man | grep '[A-Z]' | wc -l
46066
If there were only a few files present with both uppercase and lowercase
names I'd lean towards fixing them, but there are ~3k file pairs in
bionic:
$ for i in $(apt-file search / | cut -d' ' -f2 | sort | uniq | tr '[:upper:]'
'[:lower:]' | sort | uniq -c | grep -v '^ *1 ' | awk '{print $2}' ); do
apt-file search -i $i; done

It is not feasible to fix all of them in Ubuntu, maybe the ones in main
but IMO one should update Windows to make it support case sensitive
operation.

Title:
pam.7.gz is a symlink to PAM.7.gz . This does not work for
caseinsensitive filesystems e.g. Windows Subsystem for Linux
