As discussed on IRC, we don't want this to silently fail on Linux systems
because of some unrelated bug; that will just cause difficult-to-diagnose
problems.  Since the module will be present on all Linux systems, it's
better to ship a different pam config on Linux vs. non-Linux architectures,
which can be done fairly easily without duplication using dh-exec.
