Bug Description
Binary package hint: libpam-ldap
Installation of libpam-ldap adds loads of trash to the system.
Dependency on ldap-auth-config pulls also ldap-auth-client. As I can see ldap-auth-config is used for configuration of PAM in some old-way (it overwrites /etc/pam.
Meanwhile libpam-ldap also depends on libpam-runtime! So in one package we depend on the old and the new config way, while in fact the postinstall script uses the new one and the user would have to run the old one manually. Why do this at all? And why "depend" on ldap-auth-client. Perhaps if somebody was interested in this, it could be "Suggested"?
