Right. Still I think su'ing (and also logging in, btw) as root is
something *way* more noteworthy than su'ing to a normal user.

As I have meanwhile understood the relation between su and pam, I
suggest to change logging behaviour in pam. I guess this would imply
reassigning this bug to the pam package, or something like that.

Thanks,
Reinhard
