This convinces me that we should at least use a versioned Depends on
libpam-modules to avoid this specific problem and enforce migration of
both packages at the same time.

Unfortunately, this would add more complexity to the dependency chain
but anyway, login already uses a versioned Depends on
libpam-modules...while passwd doesn't depend on it at all (which might
be a bug).

Steve, advice ? Look for #341230 bug log for the whole story.
