Public bug reported:

The only package that Depends on auth-client-config (demoted to universe
at least as far back as xenial) is ldap-auth-config (also in universe;
from ldap-auth-client source), but it didn't actually use auth-client-
config, it only shipped an nss profile and the profile was not
documented by ldap-auth-client. I removed the dependency in ldap-auth-
client 0.5.4 in cosmic, so now auth-client-config can be safely removed.

pam-auth-update addressed the problems years ago that auth-client-config
tried to solve and pam-auth-update is the Debian approved way of
modifying pam. ldap-auth-client used to ship auth-client-config pam
profiles, but this was removed in ldap-auth-client 0.5.3 in 2011. auth-
client-config is unmaintained and should simply be removed.

** Affects: auth-client-config (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Fix Released
