[Bug 965662] Re: pam-auth-update conflict resolution shouldn't warn

[James Hewitt]

In my use case, I need to override the pam config of another package.

It would be useful to instead of just saying "conflicts" saying
"replaces", and then not having it warn.

Title:
  pam-auth-update conflict resolution shouldn't warn

Status in “pam” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After automatically resolving conflicts in pam-config stubs, pam-auth-
  update will still pop up a warning notification that requires the user
  to select [Ok].

  Requiring user interaction kind of defeats the purpose of having the
  automatic Conflicts and Priority conflict-resolution mechanism, and
  the priority-"high" warning box for presenting non-essential
  information is itself arguably a policy violation.
