Binary package hint: php5-auth-pam

According to the team working on the Horde application framework, php5
-auth-pam is unmaintanied and was deprecated years ago. This means that
the php5-auth-pam package should be considered a security vulnerability.

The package info at http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/p
/php-auth-pam/php-auth-pam_0.4-10/copyright refers to the author's page
at http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/~ccunning/pam_auth - however, that
page is a 404 not found.

The Horde team suggests a package named "pam" instead of "auth-pam".

There are quite a few dependencies on php5-auth-pam, so it cannot
readily be uninstalled and replaced by the appropriate PECL module.

** Affects: php-auth-pam (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
