Bug Description

I'd like to install the libpam-passwdqc library (/lib/security/pam_passwdqc.so) without having it configured for me (/usr/share/pam-configs/passwdqc). This is so that I can depend on the libraries from my package, and supply the configuration I need within my package, without the two conflicting.

I think the packages should be split into:
libpam-passwdqc - Depends on libpam-passwdqc-bin and libpam-passwdqc-config
libpam-passwdqc-bin - Contains /lib/security/pam_passwdqc.so and the docs
libpam-passwdqc-config - Contains /usr/share/pam-configs/passwdqc and the prerm/postinst scripts to handle it
