 It was NOT raised as a goal of bullseye for libpam-* packages those
 are not multiarch-ed, IMO. And at this time, last minutes for release,
 we should ensure "it works" as previously to deliver values for users.
 Breaking several libpam-* packages is not.

 Is there any *strong* reason to not deffer make libpam-* packages multiarch-ed
 to bookworm release?

 I want his comment, too. git log in his repo just says "refresh
 patches" for this change, and debian/patches-applied/lib_security_multiarch_compat
 is the patch for non-multiarch pam modules and still remains. If it
 was intended, it should be removed, I suppose.
