I think that's a bug in the other package.
The issue is that /lib/security is not a multiarch path.
And so I cannot have both an i386 and amd64 version of the module
installed at the same time.
By this point, we really ought to be supporting multiarch.

I'm happy to add breaks relationships in pam on broken modules that
don't provide multiarch paths,
but I'd consider this a grave bug on a module that only installs in
/lib/security at this point.
