Sam, Kees,

Given that upstream supports a syntax that does satisfy our needs, should we
switch the recommendation to 'include' instead of '@include' after all, so
we can deprecate @include and eventually drop one of the patches in our
delta with upstream?  The last time I spoke with upstream about this one,
the conclusion was that only one syntax was needed and Debian should switch
to the one upstream implements.

This would obviously be a long transition, since we will need to coordinate
with all packages shipping /etc/pam.d/ files, but it would be
straightforward... and I can't see any compelling reason to continue to use
a syntax that differs from upstream's.
