Oh, right. That was indeed forgotten when I "created" the new package
by copy/paste in debian/control. /me bashes self for not properly
checking. Thanks for pointing!

I'm building a new package right now and will hopefully upload it,
hoping that it's not REJECTed with some cryptic message from
dak....just as it happened for attempts I made two days ago.

Well, how about Recommends?

I suspect some people might find use cases for the PAM module without
the NSS modules though none come actually to my mind.
