I'll check tomorrow on live FreeBSD system.

Currently, we should keep building without PAM all
tools for which this is reasonable (e.g. useradd,
userdel) and stop distributing corresponding pam.d
files.

We would start PAM-ifying these at more appropriate
time (when e.g. grsec or alike with suitable policy
will be a part of mainstream Debian distribution).
